The study found high rates of musculoskeletal symptoms among surgeon trainees during residency training. However, after receiving lectures on surgical ergonomics, all residents reported increased awareness of their own habits while operating and improved understanding of methods to prevent and treat work-related injuries.
BACKGROUND: Education on surgical ergonomics during residency training is lacking. This study aimed to determine the feasibility and impact of incorporating surgical ergonomics lectures into residency curriculum. METHODS: A survey was distributed to 42 residents with questions regarding demographics, surgical factors, prevalence of musculoskeletal (MSK) symptoms, and awareness of ergonomic recommendations. The residents then received 2 lectures on ergonomics in surgery. A follow up survey was distributed to evaluate the impact of the lectures. RESULTS: Twenty-two residents completed the presession survey. Ninety-one percent reported MSK symptoms attributed to their training. Seventeen residents completed the follow up survey. All reported increased awareness of their own habits while operating and improved understanding of methods to prevent and/or treat work-related injuries. All residents recommended incorporating the lectures as an adjunct to their regular curriculum. CONCLUSIONS: The rates of MSK symptoms and/or injury are high among surgeon trainees. Residency is an opportune time to educate on principles of ergonomics and may prevent future injuries. (C) 2020 Association of Program Directors in Surgery. Published by Elsevier Inc.
