Considering the Environmental Impact of Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery.
Objective: We sought to calculate the waste generated by cleft lip and palate (CL/P) procedures and to increase awareness of the environmental impact of our speciality.
Design: Waste from 5 CL/P procedures was categorised into 5 streams and weighed. A carbon calculator tool was used to convert weight of waste in to estimated carbon emission over a 12-month period.
Setting: The study was carried out in a university teaching hospital.
Patients and participants: This was an assessment of the waste produced from 5 paediatric CL/P procedures.
Main outcome measures: Weight of waste produced as result of CL/P procedures, measured in kilograms (kg); weight of CO2, measured in kg.
Results: We found that 768.5 kg of surgical waste was generated by CL/P procedures at our centre annually. This equates to 2653 kg of CO2.
Conclusions: This study serves as a reminder of surgeons' responsibility to oversee how the waste we produce is disposed of.
期刊介绍：
The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal (CPCJ) is the premiere peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, international journal dedicated to current research on etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in all areas pertaining to craniofacial anomalies. CPCJ reports on basic science and clinical research aimed at better elucidating the pathogenesis, pathology, and optimal methods of treatment of cleft and craniofacial anomalies. The journal strives to foster communication and cooperation among professionals from all specialties.
