Summary

It is well known that surgery requires not only a mental diligence, but also a real physical stress due to the need to assume particular postures for many hours or to repeat specific maneuvers several times. To this peculiar condition of surgical specialities over the years has been added the development of a series of instruments and technologies ranging from the use of loopes, to laparoscopic and robotic surgery. From the studies reported in the literature, between 74% and 87% of surgeons report symptoms related to their work with consequent effects on the quality of life (sleep loss, inability to carry out their recreational activities, etc.). Similarly, a lack of knowledge of the principles of ergonomics to be applied during the performance of one's surgical activity emerged, which could improve musculoskeletal symptoms with a positive effect on the quality of life of surgeons and consequently hoping for an improvement in professional performance.
