Economic evaluation assesses cost-effectiveness of selective mesh placement post-stoma closure in high-risk patients, suggesting its viability.

Selective prophylactic mesh placement can lower costs while preventing incisional hernias and maintaining effectiveness.
The study indicates that the selective strategy offers a lower incremental cost than universal mesh placement.
Analysis employed systematic reviews and meta-analyses to inform the evaluation of cost and effectiveness.
Implementation of prophylactic mesh strategies should be considered as they meet cost-effectiveness thresholds.

Ramírez-Giraldo et al. (2025) studied this question.
