q2 · i? · review · r3

Systematic review of 51 studies identified via Medline, Embase, Cochrane and Scopus following PRISMA guidelines. The review reports that "Laparoscopic assessment tools are abundant, but the literature still lacks good‐quality assessment tools for open appendicectomy, robotic colectomy and open rectal surgery."
