Introduction Minimally invasive surgery offers excellent benefits to patients [1] and one of its modalities; Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) is increasingly being adopted to perform more complex procedures [2]. One of the claimed benefits is reduced musculoskeletal stress, which is important as surgeons are amongst the most at risk profession of work-related musculoskeletal decline [3]; with a high prevalence of work-related pain [4-6], and musculoskeletal injuries [7], predominantly affecting the neck, arm, shoulder, and back. The study aimed to compare electromyogram (EMG) activity in four relevant muscle groups during live laparoscopic surgery (LS) and robot assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS). Methods Muscle activation dur...
