| Abstract Surgeons usually work with sharp tools and sophisticated equipment that create many opportunities for neck, finger, hand, arm or wrist injuries. Despite their limited knowledge of ergonomics, they try to reduce pain during surgery. The most commonly used approach is position change. Today, surgeons use minimally invasive methods. These procedures often impose more physical needs on the surgeon than open surgery. Ergonomic chairs designed for surgeons do not provide the ergonomic position required for microscopic surgery but they can prevent back pain during open surgery. Over the past two decades, new innovations have led to a significant increase in the prevalence of microscopic surgeries, so this study aimed to investigate the characteristics of an ergonomic surgeon chair and its design for use in microscopic surgeries. |
