Objective: To map the strategies described in the literature to optimize stock management in perioperative settings, with emphasis on the role of perioperative nursing. Methods: Scoping review conducted according to PRISMA-ScR, Arksey & O’Malley, and refined by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL and SciELO, including studies published between 2013 and 2023 in Portuguese, English, or Spanish. Results: Out of 1,245 initial records, 10 studies were included. The most cited strategies were computerized stock systems and tracking technologies, standardization and customization of surgical kits, and nursing team training. Reported outcomes included improved inventory accuracy, reduced waste and preparation time, and increased surgical safety. Conclusion: Stock management optimization in perioperative care requires a balanced integration between technology, standardized processes, and team training, with nursing playing a central role.
