La integración y adopción de estas tecnologías facilitadoras en la industria biotecnológica y de tecnologías médicas es donde radica el gran potencial de conseguir una medicina personalizada o de precisión que establezca, para cada individuo, herramientas para la prevención según su predisp...

BACKGROUND: This study aims to continue research on the objective analysis of ergonomic conditions in robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), seeking innovative solutions for the analysis and prevention of ergonomic problems in surgical practice. METHODS: Four different robotic-assisted tasks were performed by groups of surgeons with different surgical experiences. Different wearable technologies were used to record surgeons’ posture and muscle activity during surgical practice, for which the correlation between them was analyzed. A predictive model was generated for each task based on the surgeons’ level of experience and type of surgery. Two preprocessing techniques (scaling and normalization) and two artificial intelligence techniques were tested. RESULTS: Overall, a positive correlation between prolonged maintenance of an ergonomically inadequate posture during RAS and increased accumulated muscle activation was found. Novice surgeons showed improved posture when performing RAS compared to expert surgeons. The predictive model obtained high accuracy for cutting, peg transfer, and labyrinth tasks. CONCLUSIONS: This study expands on the existing ergonomic analysis of the lead surgeon during RAS and develops predictive models for future prevention of ergonomic risk situations. Both posture and muscle loading are highly related to the surgeon’s previous experience.
