Key Words	Parastomal hernia; Synthetic mesh repair; Biologic mesh repair; Prophylactic mesh repair
Core Tip	This review and meta-analysis outlines all current evidence regarding prevention and treatment of parastomal hernia and compares the use of synthetic and biologic mesh. There is no superiority of biologic over synthetic mesh for parastomal hernia repair concerning parastomal hernia recurrence, wound infection and mesh infection. Prophylactic mesh placement during the initial surgery significantly reduces parastomal hernia occurrence regardless of the mesh type.
