Open Surgeon Vs Lap SurgeonHow do they differ?!
Open Surgeon• Fast• Hand is as good as eyes• Dissection precedes• Ergonomics: Optional
Laparoscopic Surgeon
• Slow and steady
• Stop when you don’t see
• Haemostasis precedes
• Ergonomics: Vital
To be an efficient Surgeon…
• Equipments• Environment
Concentrate on
Ergonomics• Straight Line principle
• Triangulation
• Manipulation angle
• Elevation angle
• Low lying table
• Gaze down view

Surgeon’s Stance
Ideal relaxed stature Tiring
Ideal Relaxed Position
-straight head, in the axis of the trunk, without rotation or extension of the cervical spine;- shoulders in a relaxed and neutral position;- arms alongside the body- elbows bent to 70 to 90 degrees- forearms in an horizontal or slightly descending axis- -hands pronated (physiological resting position);- hands and fingers lightly grip the handles/handpiece
