Abstract

Abstract:

In the field of gynecology， surgery is an important treatment for gynecological diseases.Due to prolonged use of equipment， doctors are prone to work-related musculoskeletal disorders （WMSDs）.However， many gynecologists have not received ergonomic training and are not aware of the protective role of ergonomics for surgeons， which can easily lead to neglect and lack of understanding on how to handle WMSDs. This article provides a systematic review of the current status of ergonomics in gynecological surgery， with the aim of protecting gynecologists and extending surgical lifespan.

Key words: Gynecologic surgery, rgonomics, Work-related musculoskeletal disorders
