摘要

Operating rooms represent one of the most material and resource-intensive areas of a hospitals and substantially contribute to the environmental footprint of healthcare systems. Beyond energy consumption, surgical supplies, medical devices and the associated inventory management and procurement processes have gained increasing attention as key levers for sustainability. This narrative review summarizes the current international evidence on sustainable inventory management and procurement strategies in the operating room. Particular emphasis is placed on different stocking models, standardization of surgical sets and modern procurement and supply chain approaches. Systematic reviews and implementation studies consistently demonstrate that structured inventory and procurement strategies can significantly reduce material waste, costs and environmental impact without compromising patient safety or quality of care. Sustainable effects require a systemic approach integrating organizational, logistical and clinical perspectives.
