Abstract During the last few years, a fairly large group of patients in the Los Angeles County Hospital who were found to have cirrhosis of the liver has been studied, and some of the results of the study have been published.1 A phase of the problem involved in the treatment of those patients who have ascites leads to a consideration of surgical procedures. Apparently there is considerable difference of opinion among both internists and surgeons concerning the value of omentopexy as a therapeutic measure for patients who have this condition. It was considered worth while, therefore, to analyze the records of patients found to have cirrhosis and treated medically, giving special attention to the duration of their illness and to their life expectancy, and to compare these findings with those obtained from a study of the records of a similar group of patients who had received surgical treatment for ascites.
