Laparoscopic surgery in patients with cystic fibrosis: A systematic review

a.lsfakia shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Introduction

Laparoscopic surgery may be advantageous for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients because it leads to fewer complications than open surgery. However, it could still lead to pulmonary and cardiovascular complications in CF patients. We aimed to systematically review the use of laparoscopic surgery in CF patients.

Methods

A systematic review was performed in compliance with PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, and Google Scholar, with "cystic fibrosis and laparoscopic surgery" and "cystic fibrosis and minimally invasive surgery" used as the search terms. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria were applied. The protocol was registered with the PROSPERO register.

Results

Six studies met the predetermined inclusion criteria; accordingly, two studies provided high‐quality evidence and four provided moderate‐quality evidence. The interrater correlation was convincing (r s = .95, P = .02, two‐tailed). Therefore, three quantitative studies and three qualitative studies were assessed and evidence‐graded in accordance with the GRADE protocol.

Conclusion

The benefits of laparoscopic surgical interventions for patients with CF were supported with good evidential value and recognized as a safe and suitable surgical option.
