The objective was to determine the prevalence of lower back pain (LBP) and comparison of lower back pain among surgeons of different specialties. METHODS: For this research 100 surgeons sample size was estimated. A self-prepared questionnaire having 25 items was distributed in respondents to gather data about the prevalence of lower back pain in surgeons of different specialties. Using SPSS V-19 data was analyzed having quantitative and qualitative variables. RESULT: It was noted that out of 10, general (4), cardiac (2), plastic (2), ENT(4), trauma(6), pediatric(4), and orthopedic(7), neuro (2), urology(2) and gynecology (6) specialty felt lower back pain during surgeries. Out of 100 surgeons of diverse specialty 43 surgeons have lower back pain during the surgery. Out of 100 diverse specialty surgeons’ 25 surgeons have LBP in region of lumbar, thoracic region (2 surgeons) and 29 in their region of lower lumbar. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that Gyne & Obs and ENT surgeons are more prone to lower back pain (LBP) as compare to the surgeons of other specialties. The reason of the lower back pain was tough routine, lengthy standing time during surgeries of patients, adaptation of abnormal postures and due to less rest time.
