Umbilical hernioplasty in cirrhotic patients with ascites A case control study.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that umbilical hernia pathology in ascitic cirrhotic patients can be treated surgically with satisfactory results especially in Child-Pugh class A and B patients. The surgical approach of choice must, preferably, be the preferred prosthetic plastic after pre-operative optimization of the coagulation, nutritional and ascitic state.
