Outcomes were prioritised by stakeholder involvement. Random‐effects meta‐analyses produced odds ratios (ORs) or standardised mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The ROBINS‐I tool and the GRADE approach were used to assess the risk of bias and certainty of evidence, respectively.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>This review included two RCTs and 25 NRSI. The risk of bias was high in RCTs and serious to critical in NRSI. Although preoperative site marking reduced stoma‐related complications (OR: 0.45, 95% CI: [0.31–0.65]), dependence on professional or unprofessional care (narrative synthesis), and increased health‐related quality of life (SMD: 1.13 [0.38–1.88]), the evidence is very uncertain. Preoperative site marking may probably reduce leakage (OR: 0.14 [0.06–0.37]) and may decrease dermatological complications (OR: 0.38 [0.29–0.50]) and surgical revision (OR: 0.09 [0.02–0.49]). The confidence in the cumulative evidence was moderate to very low.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>Despite low quality evidence, preoperative stoma site marking can prevent stoma‐related complications and should be performed in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery given that this intervention poses no harm to patients.</jats:p></jats:sec>
