Résumé

To assess the carbon footprint of cataract surgery in a French university hospital. Operating room of Cochin University Hospital, Paris, France. Single-center component analysis. One day of surgery was used as a reference. Greenhouse gases (GHG) related to patient and staff transportation were calculated based on the distance travelled and the means of transportation used. The annual consumption of energy (heating and electricity) of our building was converted in kg equivalent of carbon dioxide (CO The LCA of disposable items accounted for 59.49kg (73.32%) of CO Our data provide a basis to quantify cataract surgery as a source of GHG and suggests that reductions in emissions can be achieved.
