Surgical Ergonomics Recommendations

The ACSDivision of Education and the Surgical Ergonomics Committee have recently created ACSSurgical Ergonomics Recommendations that are surgeon-friendly and directly applicable to surgeons’ OR setups. These recommendations have a set of general recommendations (e.g., optimal OR table height), which can be applicable across different surgical techniques (i.e., open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgeries), as well as surgical technique-specific recommendations (e.g., optimal monitor positioning for laparoscopic surgery) with brief instructions with relevant illustrations. These recommendations also have different stretching exercise protocols that can be implemented in the operating room, between cases, or at home.
