Green Hysteroscopy is a study to see if using green drapes in the operating room can make hysteroscopy surgery faster. A hysteroscopy is a procedure where a small camera is inserted into the uterus (a part of the female body) through the vagina and cervix to check for problems or perform surgery. This study also looks at whether green draping affects infection rates, complications, and other factors. The goal is to reduce waste and the harmful effects on the environment. The study wants to find out if using fewer single-use supplies, which are things used only once, can help. The study is open to women having this procedure at specific Emory hospitals. Women having another surgery at the same time, pregnant women, prisoners, or those who can't make decisions for themselves cannot join. The study is trying to be more eco-friendly and save costs without increasing health risks.
- The study is only for women having a hysteroscopy at certain hospitals.
- Using green drapes might make surgeries quicker and cheaper.
- Researchers hope to reduce waste without causing more health problems.
