Two authors independently identified trials, extracted data, assessed risk of bias (ROB 2.0 and ROBINS\u2010I), and evidence certainty (GRADE). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled observational studies were included. Meta\u2010analyses were conducted using random\u2010effects models. Primary outcomes were 30\u2010day readmissions and 30\u2010day emergency department visits. Secondary outcomes included patient satisfaction and compliance with the telemedicine intervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirteen studies (five RCTs, eight cohort studies) were included. Compared to usual care, telemedicine resulted in no difference in 30\u2010day readmissions (odds ratio [OR]; 0.96; 95% CI: 0.69, 1.35, 11 studies, 7102 patients, low certainty) and 30\u2010day emergency department visits (OR; 1.02; 95% CI: 0.67, 1.57, 8 studies, 6694 patients, low certainty). Evidence certainty was limited by serious imprecision and moderate to high risk of bias. Patient compliance with interventions ranged from 48.6% to 95.3% across studies. Patient satisfaction was higher for telemedicine compared to usual care (standardized mean difference; 0.88; 95% CI: 0.31, 1.45, 3 studies, 217 patients).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Telemedicine interventions may lead to little difference in readmissions or emergency department visits after colorectal surgery. Telemedicine may improve patient satisfaction versus usual care. Evidence was of low certainty, indicating a need for larger randomized trials and high\u2010quality observational studies with appropriate design and analysis to minimize confounding.<\/jats:p>\n
