An ethogram to quantify operating room behavior.
The researchers adopted a method from the field of ethology for observing and quantifying the interpersonal interactions of operating room (OR) team members. They found that the ethogram's high interobserver reliability indicates its utility for yielding largely objective, descriptive, quantitative data on OR behavior.

Impact of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) versus conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) procedures on surgeon stress and workload: a randomized controlled trial.
The goal of this study was to compare surgeon stress and workload between single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC). It concluded that surgeon heart rate, salivary cortisol level, instrument usability, and Surg-TLX ratings indicate that SILC is significantly more stressful and physically demanding than the CLC.
