Surgery can entail standing at the table for long hours. It is worrying that ninety two percent of surgeons will have symptoms of musculoskeletal degeneration in their lifetime, yet there isn't any formal instruction. BBASS explains surgical posture and the working angles that will reduce fatigue and stress on the spine. Moreover, the correct posture isolates the intrinsic muscles of the hands and enable the surgeon to operate with lightness of touch. To be sharp, you need to stay sharp. It is important that the surgeon is fit.
