Iatrogenic bladder injury following gynecologic and obstetric surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

"CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT The authors have stated explicitly that there are no conflicts of interest."

"FUNDING INFORMATION None."

"The systematic review was registered in Prospero on November 24, 2021 (Reference ID: CRD42021290586). Material and methods: A systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted, and the results were presented in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed, Embase, and Medline electronic databases were searched, and followed by screening from two independent reviewers. Studies published between January 2000 and March 2023 describing methods of bladder injury repair following obstetric or gynecologic benign surgery were included. Data extraction was done using Covidence. We performed a meta‐analysis on complications after repair and explored this with a meta‐regression analysis (Metafor package R) on length of catheterization to determine if length of catheterization influenced the risk of complication. A risk of bias tool from Cochrane was used to assess risk of bias and the study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021290586)."
