Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer is a major public health issue globally, emphasizing the need for early detection and screening guidelines, particularly for at-risk populations like older adults.
- A study in Kuwait surveyed adults aged 45-75 to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding colorectal cancer screening using a self-administered questionnaire.
- Results showed low levels of knowledge (<50%) and practices (<30%) among participants, despite the fact that their attitudes toward screening were generally positive, indicating a disconnect that could impact compliance.
Our goal is to conduct a thorough systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies to evaluate the efficacy of LigaSure (Valleylab, Boulder, CO) compared with Harmonic (Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., Cincinnati, OH) devices in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Our search strategy, from inception until March 1, 2024, involved multiple databases, including the Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science (WOS), PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
