About

Morten Daniel Jensen is a leading researcher in surgical ergonomics and the physical demands of minimally invasive procedures. His work critically examines the musculoskeletal strain experienced by surgeons, a pervasive occupational hazard where 70–90% of laparoscopic surgeons report chronic pain in the neck and shoulders. Jensen’s most cited study, “Robotic Surgery Is Less Physically Demanding Than Laparoscopic Surgery” (2018, 76 citations), provides objective evidence that robotic-assisted laparoscopy (RALS) significantly reduces physical workload compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery (LS). By quantifying the ergonomic benefits of robotic platforms, his research has profound implications for surgeon well-being, career longevity, and patient safety. This work positions Jensen at the intersection of surgical technology and occupational health, offering data-driven solutions to a critical workforce problem. His contributions are essential reading for clinicians and engineers seeking to design safer, more sustainable surgical environments, and his findings continue to influence the adoption of robotic systems in operating rooms worldwide.
