The morbidity and mortality of major abdominal surgical interventions in 34 histologically proven cirrhotic patients are analysed by the authors. The surgical interventions were carried out by urgent, absolute and elective indications. 37 general and surgical complications could have been observed following the major abdominal surgery of 34 cirrhotics. 7 out of 34 patients died. Suture-line insufficiency, peritonitis, sepsis and other inflammatory processes turned out most frequently among the complications. The Child criteria, the prothrombin level and white blood cell count proved to be useful prognostic factors by statistical analysis.
