Laparoscopic versus robot-assisted left hemicolectomy: A pilot study on sustainability
Robot-assisted left hemicolectomy seems to have a greater environmental impact compared with laparoscopic left hemicolectomy in terms of both CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and waste production. Given the growing focus on operating room sustainability, further studies are needed to compare laparoscopic and robotic techniques to inform surgical decisions.
