Under what condition would hernia surgery not be an options for cirrhosis patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Severity of cirrhosi: If the cirrhosis isn't causing many symptoms you should be fine. However if you have large ascites, bleeding problems, infection or other complications most surgeons will be hesitant to operate except in an emergency.
