Abstract
|
|
|
|
Emergent abdominal surgery in cirrhotic patients with ascites can result in dismal postoperative outcomes such as sepsis and hepatic failure. In the present case, small bowel resection followed by anastomosis by the hand-sewn meth-od was performed for small bowel strangulation caused by an umbilical hernia; deceased donor liver transplantation was performed one week after the bowel resection because of deterioration of hepatic function. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of liver transplantation performed at only one week after small bowel resection; and although we obtained a good result, the optimal time to perform liver transplantation in this situation requires further evaluation.
