Robots in the OR: are they saving Surgeons' bodies and minds?

NCT ID NCT04352452

Summary

This study aimed to understand if using a surgical robot causes less physical and mental strain on surgeons compared to standard 'keyhole' surgery. Researchers measured muscle activity, heart rate, and stress hormones in five trained surgeons during their normal operations. The goal was to gather data to potentially improve surgeon well-being and surgical tools in the future.
