Enablers and barriers for using reusable trocars: a qualitative study of surgeons’ and residents’ perspectives
Many perceived enablers and barriers appear to stem more from environmental and contextual factors than from the devices themselves. Mapping our findings to the TDF highlights the domains that can guide implementation strategies. Coordinated, multi-level efforts may enable reusable trocars to become a practical and scalable intervention to reduce surgical emissions.
