In the world of medicine and surgery, laparoscopic surgery has been a gift to mankind. It has replaced open-body surgeries in many cases, where recuperation and healing take time. But as the condition of patients improved dramatically, by taking less time for the patients to recover from the surgeries and return to normal day-to-day activities, the condition of the doctors also changed. Due to a lack of properly designed tools for laparoscopic surgeries, the doctors are now facing stressful conditions while performing surgeries. Many doctors reported numbness in their thumbs and discomfort in their upper extremities after performing laparoscopic surgery.
An attempt is made to understand the difficulties faced by the surgeons while performing such surgeries and come up with the design of an ergonomic and comfortable instrument for laparoscopic surgery.
