Disse undersøgelser vurderer kirurgers fysiske og ergonomiske arbejdsbelastninger. Studie 1 sammenligner laparoskopiske vs. Hugo RAS robotassisterede tilgange til rektumresektion. Studie 2 sammenligner Hugo RAS vs. Da Vinci Xi til prostatektomi. Begge sporer fysiologisk stress, kirurgiske belastningsfaser og udøvet kraft. (ERGOROB)

ERGOROB-projektet (ERGOnomi i Kirurgisk ROBotteknik)

The ERGOROB (ERGOnomics in surgical ROBotics) study is an observational research project focused on the physical well-being of surgeons.Why is this study important?Surgeons perform complex, lengthy procedures that can lead to severe physical strain, awkward postures, and repetitive movements.This physical burden often causes musculoskeletal disorders, which can negatively impact a doctor's health and potentially shorten their career.By objectively measuring these physical demands, researchers aim to improve the design of surgical systems and training protocols.Preserving a surgeon's health and expertise ultimately enhances the quality of care provided to patients.What exactly is being studied?The research is divided into two comparative areas:Study 1: Compares the physical strain on doctors performing bowel surgery (Low Anterior Resection of the Rectum) using standard "keyhole" (laparoscopic) methods versus a robotic-assisted system called the Hugo RAS.Study 2: Compares the physical demands of using two different robotic surgical platforms (the Hugo RAS and the Da Vinci Xi) during prostate surgery (Radical Prostatectomy).What does this mean for patients?In this specific study, the surgeons are the subjects being evaluated, not the patients.Patients receive their standard, planned surgical treatment without any alterations.During the operation, the participating surgeon will wear specialized wireless equipment, including a 3D motion capture suit, muscle activity sensors, and sensorized gloves to measure hand force.The procedure is also video recorded to analyze the surgeon's movements and workflow.All wearable equipment has been thoroughly pre-tested in a simulated environment to guarantee it does not interfere with the surgeon's dexterity or comfort while operating.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Colorectal Surgeons

5 experienced colorectal surgeons acting as their own controls. Each surgeon will perform 10 procedures: 5 using the standard laparoscopic approach and 5 using the Hugo RAS robotic system.

This study evaluates the ergonomic impact of different surgical platforms on operating surgeons. The "interventions" are the surgical systems used during standard procedures:Study 1: Compares the standard laparoscopic approach (control) versus the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS robotic system during Low Anterior Resection of the Rectum.Study 2: Directly compares the Medtronic Hugo™ RAS system versus the Intuitive da Vinci® Xi System during Radical Prostatectomy.Distinguishing Feature: Unlike trials focused on patient outcomes, the surgeon is the subject of investigation here. During live surgeries, surgeons are continuously monitored using wearable assessment tools: Xsens 3D Motion Capture suits for posture and kinematics , WaveX wireless sEMG sensors for muscle activity and fatigue , and GRIP VERSATEK sensorized gloves (Study 2 only) for hand force. This enables real-time, objective ergonomic data collection.

Tidsramme
Surgeon Muscle Activity (Root Mean Square)
Tidsramme: Intraoperatively

Assessment of surgeon muscle workload measured using WaveX wireless surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors placed on the trapezius, erector spinae, biceps brachii, and forearm extensor muscles. The parameter evaluated is the Root Mean Square (RMS) value for muscle activity. Measured continuously during each of the surgical procedures per participating surgeon.

Unit of Measure: Microvolts (or specify your exact electrical potential unit)

Intraoperatively
Surgeon Posture and Upper Limb Kinematics
Tidsramme: Continuously during each of the 10 surgical procedures per participating surgeon (real-time acquisition)

Evaluation of the surgeon's physical exertion and ergonomic posture deviations. Measured using the Xsens 3D Motion Capture Suit.
