About
Shweta Karki is a rising investigator at the intersection of surgical practice and environmental sustainability. Her research focuses on quantifying the carbon footprint of healthcare, specifically examining how different surgical modalities contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. In her most cited work, "Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Environmental Impact of Different Surgical Modalities of Hysterectomies" (2023, 11 citations), Karki provides a critical comparative analysis of emissions from nonreusable waste across various hysterectomy types for both benign and malignant indications. This study highlights the often-overlooked environmental cost of surgical care, offering a foundational framework for reducing the ecological impact of gynecologic procedures. By linking procedural choices to carbon output, Karki’s work informs both clinical decision-making and hospital sustainability policies. Her contributions are particularly timely as the medical field grapples with its role in climate change, positioning her as a key voice in the emerging discipline of eco-surgery. For students and researchers, Karki’s research demonstrates how rigorous clinical analysis can drive meaningful environmental change.
