Evaluating the ergonomic aspects of laparoscopic energy devices: combination of a survey and a kinesiologic experiment
Prolonged use of certain laparoscopic energy devices induces muscle fatigue and impairs accuracy. These findings underscore the importance of ergonomic considerations in surgical instrument design to enhance surgeon performance and reduce fatigue-related risks.
