Abdominal surgery is associated with high postoperative mortality and morbidity in cirrhotic patients. Despite improvements in surgical techniques, clinical management, and intensive care, the outcome could be influenced by the degree of portal hypertension, the severity of hepatopathy, or the type of surgery. Preoperative transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement, in addition to medical therapy, plays an important role in managing the complications of portal hypertension such as ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, variceal bleeding or portal vein thrombosis. To date, the improvement of post-surgery outcomes in cirrhotic patients after TIPS placement remains unclear. Only observational data existing in the literature and prospective studies are urgently needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TIPS in this setting. This review aims to outline the role of TIPS as a tool in postoperative complications reduction in cirrhotic patients, both in the setting of emergency and elective surgery.

Abstract
Abdominal surgery is associated with high postoperative mortality and morbidity in cirrhotic patients. Despite improvements in surgical techniques, clinical management, and intensive care, the outcome could be influenced by the degree of portal hypertension, the severity of hepatopathy, or the type of surgery. Preoperative transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement, in addition to medical therapy, plays an important role in managing the complications of portal hypertension such as ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, variceal bleeding or portal vein thrombosis. To date, the improvement of post-surgery outcomes in cirrhotic patients after TIPS placement remains unclear. Only observational data existing in the literature and prospective studies are urgently needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TIPS in this setting. This review aims to outline the role of TIPS as a tool in postoperative complications reduction in cirrhotic patients, both in the setting of emergency and elective surgery.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
