In the researchers' words
Musculoskeletal injuries amongst surgeons are prevalent. This project will determine whether Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic surgery (RALS) offers superior benefits to surgeon's musculoskeletal health than standard laparoscopic surgery (LS), by identifying the comparative changes in muscle fatigue during RALS Vs LS surgical procedures, and additionally identify any cognitive effects of this. The Study if successful, could help reduce injury rates in surgeons.
