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.<h4>Results</h4>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 3Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland1285-1294https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9796945biostudies-literatureMesh, flap or combined repair of perineal hernia after abdominoperineal resection - A systematic review and meta-analysis.PMC9796945Brouwer TPASharabiany SKreisel SIBlok RDHompes RMusters GDTanis PJfalseMesh, flap or combined repair of perineal hernia after abdominoperineal resection - A systematic review and meta-analysis.<h4>Aim</h4>The aim of this systematic review was to analyse recurrence rates after different surgical techniques for perineal hernia repair.<h4>Method</h4>All original studies (n ≥ 2 patients) reporting recurrence rates after perineal hernia repair after abdominoperineal resection (APR) were included.
