I agree with all of the recent posts. The biggest issue facing surgeons, over their career, is the physical fatigue of performing surgery. Slouched shoulders, standing on concrete floors for hours at a time, and long cases without food or bathroom breaks all take their physical toll on us all.

Laparoscopic surgery, with straight stick instrumentation, adds a significant amount of physical strain on us all. The physical limitations of instrument reach and flexibility necessitate extreme physical gyrations to accomplish what we need to accomplish and can accomplish during open surgery more easily.

The desire to be bedside during a case is significantly overstated on this board. To be able to sit in a comfortable chair, with back supported and elbows rested and still be able to do things as if we were bedside with the patient open brings significant improvement in outcomes, not only for the patient, but for the surgeons as well.

I am excited!
