Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Massive Ascites

• Registration Number: NCT02867293
• Lead Sponsor: Mansoura University

Brief Summary

Massive ascites is usually controlled over several weeks pre-operatively in liver transplant recipients with the risk of encephalopathy and peritonitis. We hypothesized that intra-operative drainage of ascites will be safe and avoids the inherent risks of pre-operative drainage.
