Eight studies compared operative time between sysLA and either noLND or
silLND; operative time of debulking surgery involving sysLA was
significantly longer compared to control group (WMD 63.5, 95% CI 32.5 -
94.5) (Figure 2a). Hospital stay in days was not significantly different
(WMD -0.21, 95% CI -1.09 - 0.68) (Figure 2b). Incidence of
intraoperative complications was significantly higher among women who
underwent sysLA compared to control group (OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.35 - 3.51)
(figure 2c). However, incidence of postoperative complications was not
significantly different (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.45 - 1.46) (Figure 2d).
