Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries
Abstract
Background
Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres.
Methods
This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and lowâmiddle-income countries.
Results
In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of âsingle-useâ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for lowâmiddle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia.
Conclusion
This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both highâ and lowâmiddleâincome countries

Le surrĂ©alisme dĂ©placĂ© : Inventaire, Ă©tablissement et Ă©tude des Ćuvres des surrĂ©alistes exilĂ©s au Mexique
This thesis intends to explore and analyse the literary and visual work of anumber of exiled artists and writers who have a particular link with the surrealistmovement, and fled to Mexico. Several elements of the work of Remedios Varo,Leonora Carrington, Wolfgang Paalen, Alice Rahon, Kati Horna, JosĂ© Horna,Benjamin PĂ©ret, CĂ©sar Moro and Luis Buñuel are often unknown or rarelyaccessible to a large public. Their archives are scattered around the world and areoften ignored. Our aim is to establish a chronological reconstitution of their lives,to inventory their work âparticularly from 1938 to 1963, focusing on the exilephase â as well as to examine the aesthetic dialogue between them. The basis,activities and relationships that connect these artists come not only from theirsurrealist past but also from the exile they share; nevertheless, their interactionschallenge their connection as a group. Their artworks communicate with eachother and their exile is our starting point in order to analyse the reception of theseworks. Is there an inherent poetry of the exile in the work of these artists? We willanswer this question by studying their common representations and by observingtheir strong influence in Latin American art and literature from the second half ofthe 20th century.Cette thĂšse explore et analyse lâĆuvre littĂ©raire et artistique de plusieursartistes et Ă©crivains qui ont eu un lien avec le mouvement surrĂ©aliste et se sontexilĂ©s au Mexique.

LâexpĂ©rience du merveilleux poĂ©tique: la bibliothĂšque prĂ©colombienne de Benjamin PĂ©ret
Entrons dans la bibliothĂšque de Benjamin PĂ©ret. Ce nâest pas une bibliothĂšque exubĂ©rante, bien au contraire: ses voyages, lâexil et sa vie prĂ©caire lâempĂȘchĂšrent de conserver les livres quâil possĂ©da tout au long de sa vie. Sa bibliothĂšque ne peut ĂȘtre reconstituĂ©e que partiellement Ă partir des archives et des bibliographies de ses deux anthologies.
