Factors Hindering and Supporting the Adoption of Laparoscopic Surgery in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research
To identify and synthesise factors that hinder or support implementation of laparoscopic surgery in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).
Approach:
Design: Systematic review conducted according to PRISMA 2020 and registered within a broader review (PROSPERO CRD42024593992).
Search: Searched PubMed, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar, and checked reference lists for English-language publications from 1996–2024.
Eligibility: Included empirical studies of laparoscopic surgery implementation in World Bank-classified LMICs that reported implementation barriers or facilitators; eligible designs were quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods.
Quality assessment: The review used the 2018 Mixed-Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) to assess methodological quality.
Interpretation:
The provided context describes the review rationale and methods but does not report its results.
Limitations:
Only English-language publications were included because resources for reliable full-text translation were unavailable.
Conclusion:
The review was designed to organise implementation determinants across CFIR domains; findings are not included in the supplied context.
