Abstract

Purpose of review: The present review explores the prevalence of musculoskeletal work-related injuries associated with endoscopic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, ergonomic factors and potential current and future solutions.

Recent findings: Work-related musculoskeletal pain and injuries are prevalent in urology, with modifiable risk factors identified in the endoscopic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Future endeavors should focus on instrument design, formalized ergonomic training curricula and cultural shifts among the surgeon community. The combination of advancements in urology and a growing aging population has led to a rising volume of endoscopic treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Ergonomic considerations are especially critical in endourology, where surgeons perform prolonged procedures requiring repetitive, precise movements. Optimizing ergonomics through surgeon education, training, improved operating room and instrument design, and ongoing research is essential to mitigating work-related musculoskeletal strain and enhancing surgical performance.

内镜下治疗良性前列腺增生的人机工程学挑战和考虑。

综述目的：本综述探讨了与内镜治疗良性前列腺增生相关的肌肉骨骼工伤的患病率、人体工程学因素以及当前和未来的潜在解决方案。最近的研究发现：与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疼痛和损伤在泌尿科很普遍，在内镜下治疗良性前列腺增生时发现了可改变的危险因素。未来的努力应该集中在器械设计、正式的人体工程学培训课程和外科医生社区的文化转变上。泌尿外科的进步和人口老龄化的增长导致了良性前列腺增生的内镜治疗量的增加。人体工程学的考虑在泌尿道学中尤其重要，因为外科医生要进行长时间的手术，需要重复、精确的动作。通过外科医生教育、培训、改进手术室和器械设计以及正在进行的研究来优化人体工程学，对于减轻与工作相关的肌肉骨骼劳损和提高手术效果至关重要。

期刊介绍： This journal intends to review the most important, recently published findings in the field of urology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal elucidates current and emerging approaches to the care and prevention of urologic diseases and conditions. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, female urology, and kidney disease. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
