Questi studi valutano il carico di lavoro fisico ed ergonomico dei chirurghi. Lo Studio 1 confronta gli approcci laparoscopico vs. robotico Hugo RAS per la resezione rettale. Lo Studio 2 confronta Hugo RAS vs. Da Vinci Xi per la prostatectomia. Entrambi monitorano lo stress fisiologico, le fasi di sforzo chirurgico e la forza esercitata. (ERGOROB)

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.

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)

Evaluation of the surgeon's physical exertion and ergonomic posture deviations. Measured using the Xsens 3D Motion Capture Suit. Specific parameters include trunk flexion and lateral bending angles, shoulder and elbow range of motion (ROM), and the frequency and amplitude of repetitive movements of the upper limbs

Assessment of the physical force exerted by the surgeon's hands when interacting with the robotic consoles (Hugo RAS vs. Da Vinci Xi). Measured using GRIP VERSATEK sensorized gloves. Parameters include peak forces, average forces, and force variability.

Assessment of surgeon muscle fatigue via spectral analysis, 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 median frequency of the sEMG signals. Measured continuously during each surgical procedures per participating surgeon.

Unit of Measure: Hertz (Hz)

Assessment of surgeon muscle strain, 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 duration of periods of sustained muscle activation and high levels of co-contraction. Measured continuously during each surgical procedures per participating surgeon.

Unit of Measure: Seconds (or minutes)
