Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Surgical Planning

Background:

  • Operating room (OR) space requirements for hand surgery are not well-defined.
  • This study categorizes hand surgical procedures by space needs in different OR settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and quantify the operating room (OR) space required for various hand surgical procedures.
  • To establish benchmarks for room size requirements in hand surgery practices.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzed space requirements for large (digit replantation), medium (phalangeal fracture fixation), and small (carpal tunnel release) hand surgeries.
  • Compared hand surgery space needs to general surgery and orthopaedic cases, measuring equipment footprint (ft²).

Main Results:

  • Large hand cases (digit replantation) required the most space (125 ft²).
  • Minor procedures without anesthesia needed the least space (49 ft²).
  • Space needs ranged from 49 ft² for minor procedures to 125 ft² for complex reconstructive cases.

Conclusions:

  • Hand procedures can be classified into major, medium, small, and minor categories based on OR space needs.
  • Findings provide practical guidance for optimizing space utilization, efficiency, cost, and patient safety in hand surgery settings.
