SurgiStep Platform — DEVICE
The Surgistep (pedal-controlled, adjustable platform) allows real-time height adjustment during surgery. The surgeons can adjust the height of the platform.
Standard Foot stool — DEVICE
Foot stool is considered as the standard of care during surgery.

Primary Aim: Assess improvement in ergonomics and musculoskeletal discomfort with the Surgistep compared to a standard footstool.

Experimental: SurgiStep Platform
The surgeon will be performing the surgery by standing over the SurgiStep Platform. The duration of the usage depends on the length of the surgery being performed by the surgeon. Surgeons will be using this platform for 2 weeks, after which they will be operating on standard foot stool for 2 weeks.
Placebo Comparator: Standard surgical practice
The surgeon will be performing the surgery by standing over the standard of care (foot stool). The duration of the usage depends on the length of the surgery being performed by the surgeon. Surgeons use standard foot stool for 2 weeks, and switch to SurgiStep platform for 2 weeks.
