Abstract

Any human system interface inflicts not just a biomechanical stress on the human, but rather even cognitive stress. It has been more than two decades of the existence of the minimal access techniques. Yet an ergonomically optimal environment is yet to be fashioned. These unseen stress will surely impact on the outcome of the procedure and on the surgeon’s health in long term. The effect of the highly sophisticated work environment pushes the surgeon to extreme limits of psychomotor and cognitive over load. The physical and mental abilities are surely interconnected
