GynIEx Trial Summary

This trial will investigate if taking microbreaks and doing exercises during gynecologic surgery reduces body discomfort for surgeons without affecting performance.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for gynecologic surgeons who operate at least twice a month and have surgery days with a minimum of two hours of operating time. It includes residents, fellows, and attendings in various subspecialties as long as they can perform the exercises.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests whether taking short breaks to do specific exercises during operations can reduce body discomfort in gynecologic surgeons without affecting their surgical performance.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves physical exercises during breaks, potential side effects may include muscle soreness or strain from performing the exercises.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Surgery days with intraoperative microbreaks and exercisesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Surgery days randomized to intraoperative microbreaks and exercises will include standardized breaks lasting approximately 1.5-2 minutes. During these breaks, surgeons will perform a set of targeted stretches or exercises while remaining sterile. The exercises will be performed just before surgical time-out, at a surgically safe and convenient time 45-75 mins after the start of the case and at the end of the case. A surgically safe and convenient time means the surgeon feels that it is safe to take an approximately 1.5-2 minute break during the procedure at that time. Surgeons will skip the microbreak if there is no surgically convenient or safe time during the case. Surgeons will stop the microbreak at any point if needed to ensure patient safety.

Group II: Surgery days without intraoperative microbreaks and exercisesActive Control1 Intervention

Surgery days without intraoperative microbreaks and exercises will include no intervention. Surgeons will perform the surgeries as they are normally performed and surgeons will not take microbreaks or perform exercises.
