https://www.selleckchem.com/products/avibactam-free-acid.html Chronic neck pain is the most prevalent work-related musculoskeletal injury among surgeons. Urologists may be at higher risk of neck injury due to extended time spent operating in deep anatomical structures during open surgery. Our goal was to use wearable technology to quantify the relationship between neck posture and pain during open and robotic surgery. Urologic attendings and residents who spent at least 1 day per week performing surgery for over 6 hours took part in this study. Neck posture was measured in real time during surgery using inertial measurement devices attached at the occipital protuberance and 7th cervical vertebrae. Self-reported neck pain scores were obtained throughout their workday. 30 participants and 202 hours of surgery were included in the study (21 attendings, 9 residents). There was a significant association between neck posture and pain (p = 0.04). Surgeons performing open procedures spent on average 147 minutes with their head in neck flexion postures of 30° or greater compared to 68 minutes for those performing robotic procedures (p =0.007). Surgeons performing open procedures reported a mean change in neck pain of 2.0 on the numeric analogue scale, compared to 1.3 for those performing robotic procedures (p = 0.04). Real time measurements of neck flexion during urologic surgery shows that greater duration and higher degree of neck flexion were associated with increased neck pain. Raising awareness about ergonomics in the operating room during residency will enable future generations of surgeons to make conscious decisions regarding their neck posture in surgery.
