Popis: To systematically review tools for the prevention of urinary tract injury in adult women undergoing minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.A medical librarian (M.P.H.) searched Ovid Medline 1946 to, Ovid Embase 1929 to, CINAHL 1965 to, Cochrane Library 1974 to, Web of Science 1926 to, and SCOPUS 1974 to present on April 2 and April 3, 2020.Articles evaluating strategies for the prevention of urinary tract injury at the time of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery were included. Articles that were nongynecologic, nonhuman, and nonadult were excluded. If a study did not describe the surgical approach or type of surgical procedures performed, it was excluded. If the study population was50% gynecologic or50% minimally invasive, it was excluded. Articles evaluating techniques for the diagnosis or management of injury, rather than prevention, were excluded.The search yielded 2344 citations; duplicates were removed, inclusion criteria were applied, and 9 studies remained for analysis. Three studies evaluated bladder catheters, and 6 evaluated ureteral catheters. In the 3 studies evaluating bladder catheters, there were no urinary tract injuries. Urinary tract infection was greater in women who received a bladder catheter. In the studies evaluating the use of ureteral catheters, we found inconsistent reporting and heterogeneity that precluded meta-analysis. The results of the available studies do not indicate that ureteral catheters decrease the risk of injury, and indicate that they increase morbidity.The evidence is insufficient to support the routine use of bladder catheters or ureteral catheters for the prevention of urinary tract injury at the time of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
