Causative factors, surgical treatment and outcome of incisional hernia after liver transplantation

Abstract: Improved immunosuppression should avoid early steroid bolus therapy after transplantation. A low platelet count promotes herniation. Transverse abdominal incision seems to be the best approach for liver transplantation. Prosthetic hernia repair does not increase the complication rate.
