Clinical Trial Summary
ventral hernias are defects of the anterior abdominal wall, which can be congenital or
acquired including epigastric, umbilical and incisional hernia. Umbilical hernias represent a
common surgical problem in cirrhotic patient with ascites with 20% incidence. This work was
deigned to assess outcome of different techniques of closure of ventral hernias in cirrhotic
patients.
Description:
Ventral hernias are defects of the anterior abdominal wall, which can be congenital or
acquired including epigastric, umbilical and incisional hernia. Incisional ventral hernia is
a frequent complication of laparotomy that occurs in up to 11 % of surgical abdominal wounds
Umbilical hernia represent a common surgical problem in cirrhotic patient with ascites with
20% incidence.Factors that play role in occurance of umbilical hernia in cirrhotic patient
with ascites patients is chronic increased intra-abdominal pressure, recanalization of the
left umbilical vein, muscle wasting and fascial weakening from nutritional deficiencies
(3,4).
Most of interventions for umbilical herniorrhaphy in cirrhotic patients with ascites done in
emergency setting due to the concept of high perioperative morbidity and mortality rates in
those patients. However, this strategy leads to a high risk of life-threatening complications
such as incarceration and skin rupture.
