Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of intraoperative microbreaks and exercises on gynecologic surgeon body discomfort by conducting a randomized trial. We hypothesize that gynecologic surgeons will experience decreased pain on surgery days with intraoperative microbreaks and exercises without compromising overall surgical performance.

Conditions

  • Work-related Injury
  • Physical Injury

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Intraoperative microbreaks and exercises

Intraoperative microbreaks and exercises will include standardized breaks lasting approximately 1.5-2 minutes. During these breaks, surgeons will perform a set of targeted stretches or exercises while remaining sterile. Intervention exercises include: chest and shoulder opener "elbows in pockets," chin tuck, neck rotation, squat with truncal rotation (chair pose with prayer), and forward bend.
