Background: This study evaluates whether the Kangduo SR-01 (KD) open console system reduces intraoperative ergonomic strain while preserving technical performance during robotic colorectal resection.
Methods: A tripartite assessment framework was implemented: ergonomic strain quantification (Borg CR-10 Scale), team coordination evaluation (Oxford NOTECHS II), and blinded video-based technical performance analysis (OSATS).
Results: Posture during DV was significantly more challenging for Neck and back. There was a significant greater increase in discomfort over time (up to 3 h) for the neck and back in DV group compared with KD group. Notably, both systems achieved equivalent technical proficiency (OSATS, P=0.259) and maintained comparable team coordination metrics (NOTECHS II, P=0.120) with similar short-term outcomes.
Conclusions: The open console system significantly reduces musculoskeletal strain, especially for neck and back, during robotic colorectal surgery while maintaining critical technical performance.
