Popis: Many investigations have reported the impact of resident involvement in urological surgeries. We aimed to conduct this systematic review to create enough evidence regarding this impact based on the outcomes obtained from the relevant studies. We have performed both manual and electronic search through many databases like Google Scholar, Web of science, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane library, the international standard randomised controlled trial number registry, and the world health organization virtual health library to obtain all the relevant citations. Our intended outcomes included the risk of developing complications, operative time, and rate of reoperations. We have included 17 studies that reported the impact of residents’ involvement in urological surgical operations. while some studies reported some complications, the risk of developing complications was not significantly associated with residents' involvement according to most studies. Only one study reported that complications were significantly associated with residents’ involvement. The rate of reoperation and readmission after the primary surgery was also non-significant. On the other hand, most of the included studies showed that residents’ involvement was significantly associated with increased hospital stay and prolonged operative time. Our results indicate the residents’ involvement does not impact the overall safety of the urological procedures and that this practice should be encouraged with adequate supervision.
