To evaluate the effectiveness of an eco-responsible approach to interval debulking surgery in high-grade ovarian carcinomas.
Conducted an observational, ambispective cohort study
Implemented a protocol to minimize environmental impacts
Compared costs and time to pathology report validation
Reduced environmental impacts associated with surgical practices
Lowered financial costs related to treatment
Accelerated time to receive pathology results without compromising quality
Abstract
Our protocol reduced environmental impacts, financial costs, and time to pathology report validation, without compromising the quality/safety of histopathology results.
