Mesh, flap or combined repair of perineal hernia after abdominoperineal resection - A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The aim of this systematic review was to analyse recurrence rates after different surgical techniques for perineal hernia repair.

Method

All original studies (n ≥ 2 patients) reporting recurrence rates after perineal hernia repair after abdominoperineal resection (APR) were included. The electronic database PubMed was last searched in December 2021. The primary outcome was recurrent perineal hernia. A weighted average of the logit proportions was determined by the use of the generic inverse variance method and random effects model.

Results

A total of 19 studies involving 172 patients were included. The mean age of patients was 64 ± 5.6 years and the indication for APR was predominantly cancer (99%, 170/172). The pooled percentage of recurrent perineal hernia was 3
