The repair of umbilical hernia in cirrhotic patients: 18 consecutive case series in a single institute

Abstract: PurposeTraditionally, the surgical repair of umbilical hernia in cirrhotic patients with ascites is avoided because of a significant recurrence rate and perioperative morbidity/mortality. However, recent reports recommend early elective surgery in these patients because surgery-related complications can be reduced with minimally invasive surgery and development of perioperative patient care. The current study was conducted to analyze safety and feasibility of umbilical hernia repairs performed in a single inst… Show more

“…Strangulated hernia (which does not respond to manual reduction) needs emergency surgery, even in patients with decompensated liver function [ 372 ]. For patients with preserved liver function, surgical reduction can be considered (even for non-strangulated hernia) to improve quality of life [ 373 , 374 ].…”

“…There is no report in the literature of liver failure related to pneumoperitoneum in a cirrhotic patient [ 34 , 35 ]. Some authors reduce their intra-abdominal pressure in cirrhotic patients [ 36 ]. Bleeding risk There are few reports of bleeding during laparoscopic procedures in cirrhotic patients.…”
