The Ergonomics in Robotic Surgery clinical trial is being conducted to study the role of ergonomics in adjusting robotic surgery consoles to individual body types of operators. The study will look at comfort and physical support of gynecologic surgeons after performing a hysterectomy using a da Vinci robotic surgery console. One group of surgeons will adjust their own console and another group will have the console adjusted by an ergonomist.
