Abstract

Surgical staff and patients are frequently exposed to surgical smoke and there is mounting evidence that this may be harmful. Borsetti et al. have devised a novel approach to minimising intraoperative exposure to surgical smoke. Here, I briefly outline my concerns with the 'suction only' approach to addressing this problem.
