Intraoperative Exercises & Musculoskeletal Pain in Gynecologic Surgeons

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Work-related Injury, Physical Injury

In brief

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of intraoperative microbreaks and exercises on gynecologic surgeon body discomfort by conducting a randomized trial. We hypothesize that gynecologic surgeons will experience decreased pain on surgery days with intraoperative microbreaks and exercises without compromising overall surgical performance.
