Abstract
Objective: The Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System is the focus of ongoing research to assess its clinical utility and costs (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA). The impact of these procedures on the environment, however, has not been assessed. With hospitals consuming 9% of United States energy and contributing 6,600 tons of waste to landfills each day, we sought to investigate the sustainability of this new, technology-driven surgical modality.
