Estimation of carbon emissions associated with tibial plateau levelling osteotomies in 10 dogs
Likely carbon hotspots for canine orthopaedic procedures include travel and pharmaceuticals, particularly volatile anaesthetic agents. Carbon reductions should focus on reducing travel emissions, streamlining pharmaceutical use and lower-carbon anaesthetic techniques. Future research should focus on improving carbon accounting methodology and widening the range of cases assessed.
