An automatic camera-holding system for gynecologic laparoscopy.

Ergonomic analysis of conditions prevailing during laparoscopy show that static holding work causes considerable problems. The surgeon's assistant is particularly affected, for example, by holding the endoscope optical system. To minimize strain for the entire operating team and to increase the range of activities that can be performed by the assistant, an automatic surgical camera-holding system was developed. Its value in clinical practice was tested in gynecologic laparoscopy, where it enabled the surgical team to work more comfortably.

Using human factor analysis and VR simulation techniques for the optimization of the surgical worksystem.

The introduction of minimal invasive operating techniques into the conventional surgical worksystem, requires a fundamental analysis of the resulting problems. Based on ergonomic investigations, concerning working postures, static holding work and task sequence analysis, bottlenecks of workplace design can be demonstrated. As a contribution to the optimization of workplace design, the development of a CAD-based VR simulation environment with an integrated anthropometric man-model, as a very useful tool for anthropometric system design is presented.
