About The Webinar
Musculoskeletal strain affects a large proportion of surgeons and often begins during training. Prolonged static posture, operating room setup, equipment configuration, and workflow habits can all contribute to cumulative physical load over time.
This session will explore why musculoskeletal strain is so common in surgery and discuss practical strategies surgeons can use to improve posture, reduce physical strain, and support long-term career longevity.
What You Will Learn
- Why neck, back, and shoulder strain is so common among surgeons
- How operating room setup and loupe configuration influence posture and fatigue
- Practical adjustments that can reduce strain during long procedures
Agenda
- Introduction – Why Musculoskeletal Strain Matters in Surgery
- The Scope of MSK Issues in Surgeons
- Prevalence and patterns of strain among surgeons and trainees.
- Drivers of Physical Strain in the Operating Room
- Posture and positioning
- Equipment and OR setup
- Instrumentation and workflow habits
- Loupe Design and Biomechanical Load
- How loupe geometry influences posture
- Common ergonomic misalignments
- Practical Strategies to Reduce Strain
- Intraoperative adjustments
- Habits outside the OR that support surgeon health
- Live Q&A
