Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: The male/female ratio, Child-Pugh class, and mode of hernia complication were almost matched in both groups. Hernia recurrence was significantly less in the mesh hernioplasty group. No mesh exposure or fistulae were experienced. There was no need to remove any of the meshes. CONCLUSIONS: Permanent mesh can be used in complicated hernias in cirrhotic patients with minimal wound-related morbidity and a significantly lower rate of recurrence.
