摘要：

Purpose General surgeons are at high risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs), especially in their neck and back. The prevalence and risk factors for surgeons' WRMSDs in Japan have not been well surveyed. Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire survey on WRMSDs was conducted among general surgeons in Japan. Surgeons were asked about the presence and degree of neck, shoulder, and back disability in relation to open and laparoscopic surgery. Results The questionnaire was sent to 174 general surgeons in 21 hospitals and 106 (60.9%) responded. The prevalence of WRMSDs in the last month was 65.1%, and the prevalence at least once in a lifetime was 79.2%. The rate of WRMSDs of the neck and back was higher after open surgery (44.3%, 42.5%) than after laparoscopic surgery (28.2%, 31.1%), but there was no marked difference in shoulder pain. Age was the strongest risk factor for WRMSDs, and the pain scores, prevalence of chronic pain, and rate of WRMSD-related absence from work tended to increase with age. Conclusion A questionnaire survey of surgeons in Japan showed that about 80% of surgeons suffer from WRMSDs. Countermeasures for WRMSDs among surgeons are urgently desired to ensure that limited numbers of surgeons work in the operating theatre throughout their career.
