PY - 2018 T2 - Atlas of Minimally Invasive Surgical Operations AB - More than two decades after the replacement of much traditional open abdominal and chest surgery by minimally invasive surgery (MIS), certain observations have become accepted truths. For the minimally invasive surgeon, little is more important than understanding that poor port position not only impairs operative performance, it leads to career shortening injuries, particularly carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff and other shoulder injuries. In addition, sore necks, sore backs, sore hands, and sore feet can impair performance, especially at times when patience is required. In this chapter we address patient positioning, monitor placement, and trocar positioning to optimize ergonomics for the busy minimally invasive surgeon.
