Ergonomics studies aptly fitting a worker to his job or how the environment
is more conducive to a laparoscopic surgeon. In 1949, the phrase was fully defined and
benefited and protected many aspects of human activity [1]. In the context of
laparoscopy, the importance of ergonomics cannot be overstated. Suturing time can be
reduced by using proper ergonomics, according to studies [2]. Ergonomically designed
items have been found to alleviate pressure-related chronic discomfort in surgeons [3].
This article discusses fundamental principles and procedures such as triangulation,
ideal coaxial alignment, doctor-patient drawbacks, and how to forego these challenges
with recent technological breakthroughs.
