Work-related musculoskeletal disorders among Pakistani laparoscopic and general surgeons
The current study revealed that surgeons have a high prevalence of developing WRMSDs. Personal factors as well as work-related risk factors were found to be significant in the development of WRMSDs. General and laparoscopic surgeons exhibited different incidences of pain among body regions. Varying degrees of coping strategies were employed, with changing table/plinth height being the most common.
