Summary

This study looked at how much physical and mental stress surgeons experience during robot-assisted surgery compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery. Five trained surgeons were monitored with muscle sensors, heart rate monitors, and video recordings during routine procedures. The goal is to understand which method is easier on surgeons' bodies and minds, potentially improving their health and performance.
