About
Pedro Castelo-Branco is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgery and environmental sustainability. His primary research focuses on quantifying the carbon footprint of surgical techniques, particularly in abdominal surgery, and identifying greener alternatives within the operating room. His most impactful work, a 2025 systematic review on the environmental impact of laparotomy, laparoscopy, and robotics, has already garnered 14 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in the emerging field of "green surgery." By systematically comparing the energy consumption and waste generation of these three common approaches, Castelo-Branco provides crucial, data-driven evidence for surgeons and hospital administrators seeking to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising patient care. His contributions are vital for informing clinical guidelines and promoting eco-conscious practices in one of healthcare's most resource-intensive sectors. Through his research, Castelo-Branco is not just advancing surgical science but also championing a more sustainable future for global healthcare systems.
