This study highlights the reduction in CO2 emissions associated with same-day dermatological surgery. Limitations of this study include an assumption of travel to and from hospital appointments by car, and an assumption of travel from the stated address in patient records. Dermatologists should consider the environmental impact of skin surgery, and implement sustainable options when service planning.
