“…According to some reviews, adequate preparation of cirrhotic studied cases with ascites control and increased nutrient status allows for more successful elective hernia maintenance (10) . Although elective hernia fix in studied cases with concomitant ascites is controversial, it is not novel idea.…”

Background: Patients with liver disease have a unique pathophysiology that results in the need for a specialized evaluation before undergoing any surgical procedure. The objective of the present study was to assess different risk scores for highrisk cirrhotic patients. Patients and methods: We evaluated 115 cirrhotic patients in an Emergency Department, of the National Liver Institute, Menoufia University, using MELD, PALBI, ALBI, MELD Na scores. The studied cases had different presentations; 79 patients with strangulated umbilical hernia with bowel loops, 29 patients with intestinal ischemia from acute mesenteric vascular occlusion managed by surgical explorations, and 7 patients with secondary peritonitis from neglected spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. All participants signed an informed written consent.

The epigastric hernia sac usually contains preperitoneal fat tissue, omentum, and intestines, but the presence of liver tissue is extremely rare. Epigastric hernia is a type of hernia in the midline of the abdominal wall between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process. It may be asymptomatic in some patients and cause complaints such as pain and nausea in most patients, but serious complications such as incarceration and strangulation are rare. In the present case, a 74-year-old woman was examined and found to have an irreduced omentum, transverse colon and liver tissue inside the hernia sac. She underwent an open procedure with onlay mesh-assisted hernia repair. Rare but serious complications, such as liver tissue incarceration, should be considered in epigastric hernia patients.

“…Primary anterior liver hernia is herniation of the liver through the anterior abdominal wall defect in the absence of a previous abdominal incision. It is exceptionally rare condition, only four cases have been reported thus far [ [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] ]. Multiples risk factors of hepatic herniation through the abdominal wall had been described, including obesity, increased intra-abdominal pressure, weak abdominal wall, old age, poor nutrition, smoking and supra-umbilical abdominal surgery [ 9 ].…”

“…Treatment of hepatic hernias is challenging. Currently, there are no guidelines that dictate treatment [ 7 ]. The management depends on the patient presentation, if there is any complication like vascular compromise, injury to herniated liver if there is any manual reduction tried by the patient, and intraoperative finding.…”

“…Adults tend to develop liver hernias more frequently within incisional hernias following extensive sternal and upper abdomen incisions or as a result of acute diaphragmatic injuries [ 2 , 3 ]. Primary anterior liver hernia, in the absence of previous abdominal incision or trauma, is extremely rare with only 4 cases reported in the literature [ [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] ].…”
