Lowering the Carbon Footprint Through Telehealth Vasectomy Consults: A Retrospective Observational Study

By transitioning pre-vasectomy consults from an in-person to a telehealth format, patients have added convenience in reduced travel in addition to a lower individual carbon footprint. Impact statement: With an average of 500,000 vasectomies performed per year, transitioning from in-person to telehealth vasectomy pre-consults has the potential to save patients' travel time while reducing their carbon footprint.
