Follow-up 3 to 12 years, varying across studies · Clinical · Sensitivity analysis: excluding the two moderate-risk-of-bias studies (Diéguez-Pereira 2020, Wittneben 2014)
Unresolved: the two extractors disagree on this row.
The pooled survival and complication rates remained stable, with no significant changes observed
