Carbon footprints of various subtotal tonsillectomy techniques.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess greenhouse gas emissions for the main current subtotal tonsillectomy techniques.
Materials and methods: A retrospective study was conducted in 2 French university hospital pediatric ENT departments in 2022. The target techniques were radiofrequency with single-use or reusable needle, coblation, and dissection by cold instruments or by bipolar forceps. The medical devices required by each technique were listed and respective greenhouse gas emissions (carbon footprint, in kg eCO2) were calculated, according to weight, energy consumption and place of production.
Results: Coblation generated a carbon footprint of 8.6kg eCO2, versus 0.1-0.2kg eCO2 for the other techniques.
Conclusion: Greenhouse gas emissions in subtotal tonsillectomy differ greatly according to technique. Bipolar dissection and radiofrequency have a smaller footprint than coblation. This type of data, which needs to be weighed over time according to medical benefit, should be systematically taken into account in choosing hardware for surgery.
期刊介绍:
European Annals of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Head and Neck diseases heir of one of the oldest otorhinolaryngology journals in Europe is the official organ of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SFORL) and the the International Francophone Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SIFORL). Today six annual issues provide original peer reviewed clinical and research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches and review articles giving most up-to-date insights in all areas of otology, laryngology rhinology, head and neck surgery. The European Annals also publish the SFORL guidelines and recommendations.The journal is a unique two-armed publication: the European Annals (ANORL) is an English language well referenced online journal (e-only) whereas the Annales Françaises d’ORL (AFORL), mail-order paper and online edition in French language are aimed at the French-speaking community. French language teams must submit their articles in French to the AFORL site.
Federating journal in its field, the European Annals has an Editorial board of experts with international reputation that allow to make an important contribution to communication on new research data and clinical practice by publishing high-quality articles.
