This commentary addresses the article "The environmental impact of multi-specialty robotic-assisted surgery: a waste audit analysis" by Tjahyadi G et al. It underscores that the study, based on single-center data, reveals the significant environmental impact of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). The disparities in waste generation across various specialties highlight the necessity of establishing an "environmental cost-benefit" assessment framework. Prioritizing the adoption of surgical techniques with reduced environmental footprints is essential. This study underscores the significance of cross-disciplinary cooperation, optimizing procurement strategies, promoting the development of RAS waste management standards, and fostering the integration of technological innovation with sustainable practices.
这篇评论文章针对的是Tjahyadi G等人所著的《多专科机器人辅助手术的环境影响：废物审计分析》一文。它强调，基于单中心数据的这项研究揭示了机器人辅助手术（RAS）对环境的重大影响。各专科之间在废物产生方面的差异凸显了建立一个“环境成本效益”评估框架的必要性。优先采用对环境影响较小的手术技术至关重要。这项研究强调了跨学科合作、优化采购策略、推动RAS废物管理标准的制定以及促进技术创新与可持续实践相结合的重要性。
