“…Regarding estimated blood loss (see Supplementary material, Figure S2C), five NRSIs 24,31,[36][37][38] favoured lower blood loss with SC than with TVM surgery; the pooled mean difference was À60.37 (95% CI À76.01 to À44.72; I 2 = 30%; P < 0.01). For the occurrence of bladder injury (see Supplementary material, Figure S2D), four RCTs [18][19][20][21][22] and 12 NRSIs 23,25,26,28,29,[31][32][33][35][36][37][38] reported pooled odds ratios of 0.68 (95% CI 0.21-2.23; I 2 = 0%; P = 0.52) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.52-1.88; I 2 = 0%; P = 0.96), respectively. The pooled odds ratios for bowel injury rates (see Supplementary material, Figure S2E) in three RCTs [19][20][21][22] and nine NRSIs 23,25,26,29,32,33,35,36,38 were 1.63 (95% CI 0.20-13.39; I 2 = 0%; P = 0.65) and 1.28 (95% CI 0.44-3.71; I 2 = 0%; P = 0.68), respectively.…”
