Evaluation reveals ergonomic differences in robotic surgery systems, indicating areas for improvement.

Knee, elbow, and back angles were found within recommendations across all systems, enhancing ergonomic safety.
Neck posture improvement is necessary for most robotic systems, particularly highlighted in the Dexter and DaVinci systems.
Surgeries analyzed included 13 with the DaVinci and 2 with the Dexter, leading to 20,250 and 1,994 images respectively.
Future randomized controlled studies are needed to establish comprehensive ergonomic guidelines for robotic surgeries.

Krauss et al. (2025) studied this question.
