Portosystemic shunt in treatment of esophageal varices bleeding
Abstract
Different surgical procedures are described in treatment of portal hypertension and its complications. In this paper we describe our experience in treatment of variceal bleeding. During 23 year period 92 portasystemic shunt operations have been performed in our institution. From our experience, we conclude that surgical shunts remain important mode of treatment of recurrent variceal bleeding in patients with good liver function and portal hypertension.
