Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery - an ergonomic investigation

Swinburne researchers are conducting a first-of-its-kind study examining how robotic surgical systems could extend the career-span of surgeons. In a unique collaboration with the Valley Private Hospital and Device Technologies, a multidisciplinary team led by Dr Mats Isaksson will compare the biomechanics of a surgeon operating with a Da Vinci Skills Simulator to that of a traditional laparoscopic surgical procedure
