About
Christl Reisenauer is a leading researcher at the intersection of gynecologic surgery and ergonomics, with a primary focus on improving surgeon well-being and patient outcomes through the adoption of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS). Her most impactful work, the "Save Our Surgeons (SOS)" study (2022, 20+ citations), provides a critical, explorative comparison of the muscular, cardiovascular, postural, and perceived workload demands of robotic versus conventional laparoscopic surgery. This research has been instrumental in quantifying the ergonomic benefits of RALS, directly addressing the high risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among surgeons. Beyond ergonomics, Reisenauer has advanced the field of pelvic floor reconstruction, leading an international Delphi study (2023, 13 citations) to establish expert consensus on best practices for robot-assisted procedures. She also pioneers novel methodologies for surgical training, as demonstrated by her pilot study on objective performance indicators for robot-assisted hysterectomy (2024). Through her work, Reisenauer is not only shaping safer, more sustainable surgical practices but also providing the evidence base for the next generation of robotic surgical curricula.
