Intraoperative Exercises for Gynecologic Surgeons' Pain

This study is looking at whether short breaks with exercises during gynecologic surgery can help reduce body discomfort for surgeons. It's called "Intraoperative microbreaks and exercises." The study will involve gynecologic surgeons, including residents, fellows, and attendings, who perform at least two hours of surgery in a day. Researchers want to see if these exercises can lower pain without affecting how well surgeries are performed. The main thing they'll measure is Body Part Discomfort (BPD) on the day of surgery. This study is currently recruiting participants.

Study design
This is a randomized study planning to enroll 20 gynecologic surgeons. It will compare surgeons who do exercises during surgery to those who don't.
What's involved
You would complete baseline questionnaires and your surgery days would be assessed for eligibility. If eligible, you would perform a set of targeted stretches or exercises during standardized breaks.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Body Part Discomfort (BPD) will be measured on the day of surgery.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Residents, fellows, and attendings performing gynecologic surgery (including benign gynecologists, gynecologic oncologists, minimally invasive gynecologists, and urogynecologists) who are able to perform the exercises.
Surgery days must contain at least one gynecologic surgery with two hours of total operating time in one day.
Surgeons will need to have operated on average at least 2 days per month over the last 12 months.

Exclusion

Participants will be excluded if they are unable to perform the exercises.

What this trial measures

  • Body Part Discomfort (BPD)On the day of surgery

    On each of the eligible surgery days, we will collect data on body part discomfort and surgical experience using the Body Part Discomfort (BPD) scale. The BPD scale measures body part discomfort using a 10-point scale (1 corresponds with no discomfort and 10 corresponds to maximum body discomfort) for body part regions.
