Weighted pooled proportions (95%CI) were calculated using StatsDirect. Heterogeneity concerning outcome mea-sures was determined using Cochran’s Q test and was quantifed using I2. Random and fxed effects models were used. Meta-analysis was performed with Review Manager software with the statistical signifcance set at P ≤ 0.05.RESULTSForty-four studies were included: 5 reporting biologic mesh repairs; 21, synthetic mesh repairs; and 18, prophylactic mesh repairs. Most of the studies were retrospective cohorts of low to moderate quality. The hernia recurrence rate was higher after undergoing biologic compared to synthetic mesh repair (24.0% vs 15.1%, P = 0.01). No significant difference was found concerning wound and mesh infection (5.6% vs 2.8%; 0% vs 3.1%). Open and laparoscopic techniques were comparable regarding recurrences and infections. Prophylactic mesh placement reduced the occurrence of a parastomal hernia (OR = 0.20, P 〈 0.0006) without increasing wound infection [7.8% vs 8.2% (OR = 1.04, P = 0.91)] and without differences between the mesh types.展开更多
