Comparing Ventral Hernia Repair Outcomes in Patients With and Without Liver Insufficiency
This study compared elective ventral hernia repair outcomes in patients with and without liver insufficiency. After the propensity score matching, the liver insufficiency group demonstrated a similar post-operative risk profile compared to patients with normal liver function. As such, patients with liver insufficiency who present with symptomatic ventral hernias may be safely offered elective repair.
