Optimal ergonomics are essential to improving clinical performance and longevity among urologists, as poor ergonomics can contribute to work-related injury and physician burnout. While a majority of urologists experience muscular injury throughout their career, women and trainees are disproportionately affected. These disparities are exacerbated by the lack of formal ergonomics education within urologic training programs. This review provides an overview of practical approaches to optimize ergonomics across working environments for urologists and trainees. We highlight intraoperative techniques and novel devices which have been shown to reduce work-related injury, and we identify knowledge gaps to guide future areas of ergonomic research.
优化工效学对于提高泌尿科医生的临床绩效和延长其职业寿命至关重要，因为不良的工效学可能导致与工作相关的伤害和医生倦怠。虽然大多数泌尿科医生在职业生涯中都会经历肌肉损伤，但女性和受训者受到的影响不成比例。泌尿科培训计划中缺乏正式的工效学教育，进一步加剧了这些差异。本综述提供了在泌尿科医生和受训者的工作环境中优化工效学的实用方法概述。我们强调了一些已经证明可以减少与工作相关伤害的术中技术和新型设备，并确定了知识空白，以指导未来的工效学研究领域。
