Cirrhotics Undergoing General Surgery

NCT05202457 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 63

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Surgery on cirrhotic patients represents a clinical challenge but intervening before these patients develop complications can prolong the likelihood of these patients making it to transplant for those transplant-eligible candidates. There is no literature on survival to transplant afforded by surgery nor 90 day and 1-year outcomes after any surgical procedures on this population. The investigator's aim is to study the principal investigator's single surgical center experience at a tertiary hospital with the largest referral center in the area for liver transplant candidates. The investigators hypothesize, that although the risk is high for patients undergoing surgery it is much lower than historically reported, may make more patients eligible for transplant and prevent complications that may lead to death for the transplant eligible, and may reveal associations that can lead to good outcomes in this high-risk population.
