This study was exempt from institutional review board (IRB) review by the Marchand Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery IRB (January 2022), and was exempt from consent requirements because it is a systematic review, retrospectively examining previously published data.
Although we were influenced by the questions of our patients to theorize this analysis, no patients or members of the public were involved in the study, and the protocols described in the Cochrane Manual and PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) and MOOSE (Meta-analysis Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) checklists were meticulously followed.
The Marchand Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery remains committed to diversity and tolerance in its research and actively maintains a workplace free of racism and sexism.

The study was registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (registration number: CRD42022309631).
