Minimally Invasive Versus Open Parastomal Hernia Repair: A Comprehensive Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parastomal hernia is a frequent and complex complication following stoma creation, often requiring surgical intervention. The optimal repair technique remains a subject of debate, with open and minimally invasive approaches each presenting distinct advantages and limitations. This meta-analysis systematically compares these techniques for parastomal hernia repair, evaluating key clinical outcomes including short- and long-term results.

Methods

We performed a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines, searching the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases through October 2024. Studies were included if they involved adult patients undergoing parastomal hernia repair using open and minimally invasive technique
