Cervical spine disease in surgeons performing arthroscopy or laparoscopy.
Cervical spine disease in surgeons performing arthroscopy or laparoscopy. Archives of environmental & occupational health Norheim, E. P., Black, M. H., Ngor, E. W., Shi, J. M., Safran, M. R., Navarro, R. A. 2017: 1–9Abstract
Minimal research exists regarding cervical spine disorders in surgeons who perform endoscopy. A confidential on-line survey regarding neck pain (NP), spine disease (SD), and radiculopathy/myelopathy (R/M) was sent to 722 surgeons from a managed, group-based health care system. 415 responded. 361 had endoscopy experience, of whom 24.4% had NP, 20.8% SD, and 3.9% R/M. Most respondents were less than 50years of age (62.3%), and male (65.7%). Significant risk factors for NP included older age and female, whereas OB/Gyn specialty, increased age and job stress were for SD. After adjusting for age and gender, significant risk factors for NP and SD included greater surgeon experience. After also adjusting for job stress, significant risk factors for SD included increased surgeon experience and higher frequency of endoscopies. No association was found between use of digital OR. Endoscopy appears to place surgeons at higher risk of cervical disease.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 3.
