Abstract:
Patients with cirrhosis undergoing emergency umbilical hernia repair have increased risk of fatal complications. Of all patients with cirrhosis and umbilical hernia, 43% undergo emergency hernia repair, and thus the feasibility of elective procedures in this patient group was examined. This review found that medical and wound-related complications were the most frequent after umbilical hernia repair in patients with cirrhosis. Accordingly, additional evidence is needed to evaluate methods allowing for elective umbilical hernia repair in patients with cirrhosis.
