Résumé
Awareness of climate change grows in the population and people develop eco-responsible habits in their daily and professional life. The health care system is nowadays responsible for 4.6% of global greenhouse gases emissions, and most of them comes from hospital activity. The operating room is one of the greatest contributors of the overall energetic cost and generates a large amount of hospital waste. As an example, all laparoscopic procedures in the US has an energy cost similar to an 80'000 inhabitants city during one year. A better understanding of the environmental impact of surgery is necessary to identify what can be done to limit the ecological impact of surgery without compromising standards of care.
