Surgical repair of umbilical hernias in cirrhosis with ascites.   Am J Med Sci, 341(3): 222-6.

The most common complications of umbilical hernias in patients with cirrhosis and ascites include leakage, ulceration, rupture and incarceration. If such a complication is present, there is a high mortality rate after surgical repair. Elective repair is the most effective choice, as it prevents complications with a lower mortality. However, the control of ascites before and/or after repair is mandatory but may not always be possible with diuretics and paracentesis. Portal decompression by ... [Abstract] [Full-text]

Management of patients with cirrhosis awaiting liver transplantation.   Gut, 60(3): 412-21.

The demand for OLT continues to be on the rise with patients spending a long time on the waiting list; this not only increases the risk of developing further decompensation but also mortality. The complications discussed above may not only lead to removal from the waiting list in some cases but also a poorer outcome following transplantation. Therefore the appropriate prevention, recognition and treatment of the above-mentioned complications of cirrhosis will have a positive impact on the ... [Abstract] [Full-text]
