Abstract in brief

The study assesses the environmental impact of small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE), focusing on greenhouse gas emissions and identifying that patient travel is the main contributor to its carbon footprint, which totals around 20kgCO2 per procedure.
The capsule itself is light and contributes minimally to emissions, with most weight coming from packaging materials, and its disposal regulation is often not followed, potentially increasing environmental harm if not properly retrieved.
Overall, while the device's manufacturing and data storage have low environmental impacts, efforts to reduce travel and improve capsule disposal practices could significantly lower the procedure’s carbon footprint.
