Core Tip Acute umbilical hernia rupture in patients with hepatic cirrhosis and ascites is an unusual, but potentially life-threatening complication, with high morbidity and mortality. Management options include surgical repair with or without concomitant portal venous system decompression. Recent data suggested that the routine use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) preoperatively in selected patients conferred improved perioperative and longer-term results. We present the successful management of 11 consecutive cases with only minor postoperative complications and no mortality. Based on our experience, the management of such cases is feasible without the use of TIPS routinely in the preoperative period, provided that meticulous patient optimisation is performed.
