Abstract

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are highly prevalent among surgeons, contributing to chronic pain, reduced operative efficiency, and premature career attrition. The increasing adoption of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical techniques has introduced distinct ergonomic challenges that necessitate targeted interventions. This review examines the impact of surgical ergonomics on surgeon well-being, outlining key risk factors, prevalence data, and preventive strategies. A structured approach to optimizing posture, instrument handling, operating room configuration, and intraoperative microbreaks is presented.. The integration of ergonomic principles into surgical practice is essential for enhancing surgeon longevity, optimizing performance, and ensuring sustainable career progression.
