Abstract

Objective: To synthesize scientific evidence on the impact of postoperative nursing visits on the safety and recovery of
patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy and to develop a clinical practice checklist derived from the evidence synthesis. Method: An integrative review was conducted in the PubMed, LILACS, and SciELO databases in March 2025, including studies published between 2014 and 2024 in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Results: Out of 81 identified studies, 10 composed the final sample. The systematization of nursing visits was shown to reduce complications such as surgical site infection (predominantly detected after discharge), accelerate gastrointestinal recovery, reduce markers of stress and anxiety, and increase patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The systematized postoperative nursing visit is fundamental for safe and humanized outcomes. The proposed checklist constitutes a product derived from the review, with potential for clinical application.
