Minimally invasive extraperitoneal techniques have evolved to optimize midline reconstruction while avoiding intraperitoneal mesh placement, especially in the setting of diastasis recti. Preperitoneal Extended Totally Extraperitoneal (PeTEP) repair is a recently introduced approach, but evidence regarding its safety and effectiveness remains limited. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize the available evidence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was conducted to identify studies evaluating PeTEP repair for ventral hernia with or without rectus diastasis. Meta-analytical pooling of outcomes was performed using a random-effects model.

The pooled mean operative time was 129.48\u00a0min (95% CI 74.96 to 184.00). Hematoma occurred in 10.61% of patients (95% CI 5.14 to 20.62), and overall postoperative complications in 21.21% (95% CI 12.98 to 32.69), with no intervention required in either case. Bulging was observed in 4.88% of cases (95% CI 1.22 to 17.52).
