Abstract

Objective: To understand, in the scientific literature, the experiences of urogenital dysfunctions and their physical, emotional, and social repercussions in men undergoing prostatectomy. Method: Systematic review protocol developed according to PRISMA and PROSPERO recommendations, guided by the P.I.Co strategy, which resulted in the question: “What are the experiences of urogenital dysfunctions and emotional repercussions reported by men undergoing prostatectomy?” The search will be carried out in the PubMed, VHL, Scopus, CAPES Journals, and SciELO databases (including MEDLINE and LILACS). Full original articles will be included, selected by two reviewers via Rayyan, with disagreements resolved by a third evaluator. The extracted information will include database, year, author, location, journal, title, objective, study design, results, and conclusions. Results: The findings will be presented in a flowchart and narrative synthesis, in accordance with PRISMA-ScR. This protocol will guide the review, allowing the identification of gaps, the synthesis of knowledge, and the foundation for future studies.
