Intraoperative Exercises & Musculoskeletal Pain in Gynecologic Surgeons
Sponsor: University of Texas at Austin
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.

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.
