Paper pinpoints gaps in literature and knowledge around sustainablity in endoscopy. Also, provides means to indenitify these gaps and counter the issues raised there.
Sector review considering the root causes of waste in endoscopy with frameworks for measuring carbon footprints and action steps to handle carbon footprint.
Paper discussing the need to reprocess endoscopic equipment alongside the potential health risks this practice may incur and the some solutions to these risks.
Article discussing the environmental consequences of endoscopy work. This considers the amount and type of waste produced as well as the energy required for this branch of healthcare.
Manuscript sharing information on the energy and waste production within endoscopy and provides solutions. These solutions consider waste classification, water management and lighting alternatives.
