ABSTRACT
This review provides an in-depth exploration of portal hypertension (PH) and its implications in various surgical procedures. The prevalence of clinically significant PH is 50% to 60% in compensated cirrhosis and 100% in decompensated cirrhosis. The feasibility and safety of hepatic and nonhepatic surgical procedures in patients with PH has been shown. Adequate preoperative risk assessment and optimization of PH are integral parts of patient assessment. The occurrence of adverse outcomes after surgery has decreased over time in this specific population, due to the development of techniques and improved perioperative multidisciplinary care.
