Optimal Table Height for Laparoscopic Surgery by onewiwi6595 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study aimed to determine the ergonomically optimal operating surface height for laparoscopic surgery to minimize discomfort for operators and assistants. The findings suggest that the ideal height is between 0.7 and 0.8 times the elbow height of the user, which significantly reduces extreme joint excursions and muscle activity. Consequently, this optimal height is lower than current operating table standards, highlighting the need for adjustments in surgical environments.
