About
Sara Isani is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgery and environmental sustainability, whose work has fundamentally reshaped how the medical community considers the ecological footprint of operative care. Her primary research areas include comparative surgical modalities, carbon footprint analysis in healthcare, and sustainable surgical practices. Isani’s landmark 2015 study, “Carbon footprint of robotically‐assisted laparoscopy, laparoscopy and laparotomy: a comparison,” has garnered 124 citations and stands as the first comprehensive, comparative assessment of greenhouse gas emissions across three major surgical approaches. By rigorously quantifying the environmental impact of robotic, laparoscopic, and open procedures, she provided critical evidence that has influenced hospital procurement decisions and operating room protocols worldwide. Her earlier work on hysterectomy approaches further underscores her commitment to marrying clinical outcomes with ecological responsibility. Isani’s research not only advances green surgery as a legitimate field of inquiry but also empowers surgeons and institutions to make data-driven choices that reduce healthcare’s carbon footprint. Through her innovative methodology and clear translational impact, she has become a leading voice in the movement toward a more sustainable healthcare system.
