“…2 Changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of various drugs in cirrhotic patients, poor resistance to infections, water retention, and altered hemostasis are among the noteworthy physiological parameters that increase surgical risk in this group of patients. 16 Coexisting chronic renal failure and congestive heart failure also increase the surgical risk in patients with imminent liver failure.…”

To repair a recurrent strangulated umbilical hernia in a cirrhotic patient with refractory ascites, we used a minimally invasive procedure. The laparoscopic repair included a release of the incarcerated small bowel loop and secure of a dual Gortex mesh onto the fascial rim. Our satisfactory long-term results should encourage surgeons to adapt this surgical approach. (Liver Transpl 2003;9: 621-622.)

“…Another advantage of laparoscopy over laparotomy is a lower rate of postoperative adhesions due to the smaller incision it requires, which also favors potential hepatic transplantation in the future (5,6,12,13,15).…”
