Decision-making Factors in Surgical Techniques and Attitudes Towards Environmental Sustainability
Patient's preference and postoperative length of stay are prioritised in surgical decision-making, while carbon footprint is the least significant factor. To enhance sustainability in surgical practice, barriers must be addressed, and sustainable techniques and devices should be developed and standardised, ensuring sustainability is inherent in the available options, rather than just relying on individual choice.
