Abstract in brief

This study estimates that the total carbon footprint of gastrointestinal endoscopy (GIE) in a French center in 2021 was about 2,414 tonnes of CO2e, with each procedure contributing approximately 284 kg of CO2e.
Travel by patients and staff accounted for the largest share of emissions (45%), followed by medical equipment (32%) and energy consumption (12%).
This is the first multicriteria analysis of GIE's carbon footprint, highlighting the significant impact of travel, equipment, and energy, and emphasizing the need for awareness among healthcare professionals about environmental sustainability.]
