    Objective: To systematize evidence on the effectiveness of 2% Glutaraldehyde as a high-level disinfectant for laparoscopic material in preventing surgical wound infection. Materials and Methods: Systematic Review synthesizing the results of primary research studies. The search was restricted to full-text articles, and selected articles were subjected to critical reading, using the GRADE system to assign the strength of recommendation. Five articles were chosen, with 80% (2) from Brazil and (2) from Colombia, and 20% (1) from Sri Lanka. The majority of studies were Systematic Reviews, with 40% from Brazil and Colombia. Among experimental studies, 20% were from Colombia with case-control studies in Brazil and Sri Lanka, representing 40%. Results: 100% of the articles analyzed indicated that 2% Glutaraldehyde as a high-level disinfectant for laparoscopic material is effective against Mycobacterium Marsillense under conditions of improper handling of the disinfectant, and that following proper use and handling protocols, it remains the first-choice high-level disinfectant for this material. Conclusions: 10/10 articles showed the effectiveness of 2% Glutaraldehyde as a high-level disinfectant for laparoscopic material in preventing surgical wound infection, as long as the established protocols for its use and handling are strictly followed.
