Given what has been learned about the importance of physician health for productivity, satisfaction, and career longevity, a review of correct body positioning and ergonomics is warranted in surgery. It is now abundantly clear and well documented in the literature that performing surgery takes a toll on one鈥檚 body. A 2018 meta-analysis assessing the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among surgeons1 found that from 1997 to 2015, the prevalence of degenerative cervical spine disease and degenerative lumbar spine disease increased by 18.3% and 27%, respectively. Furthermore, of physicians with work-related disease, 12% required a leave of absence, practice restriction or modification, or early retirement. Another study found that 50% of surgeons cited posture alone as contributing to their symptoms.2 Overall, 12 at-risk specialties described a gross lack of awareness and an unmet need for ergonomics education.1 Indeed, the American College of Surgeons released a series of recommendations on surgical ergonomics in 2022.3
