Green surgery? study tests if Eco-Info sways patient decisions
NCT ID NCT07505238
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether telling people with gallstones about the environmental impact of surgery affects their choice between having surgery or taking a 'wait and see' approach. About 400 patients from Dutch hospitals will use a special decision aid that includes eco-information. The goal is to see if this knowledge leads to more sustainable healthcare choices without harming patient outcomes.
