Objectives. To evaluate the early postoperative period and long-term results in the patients with portal hypertension operated for ongoing bleeding from the varicose dilated esophageal veins (VDEV) as well as its primary and secondary prophylaxis.
Methods. The analysis of short- and long-term surgical treatment results of patients (n=69) with portal hypertension syndrome complicated by VDEV have been performed: shunt operations (n=18), modified Sugiura-Futagawa operation (n=51).
Results. Splenorenal anastomosis has been performed to the patients with Child-Pugh Class A and B hepatic dysfunction (n=18). Postoperative complications developed in 4 (22,2%) patients. Mortality rate made up 5,5% (n=1). The modified Sugiura-Futagawa operation has been carried out in 51 patients: Child-Pugh class A hepatic insufficiency was diagnosed in 4 (7,8%) cases, class B – in 17 (33,3%), class C – in 24 (47,1%), and extrahepatic portal hypertension – in 6 (11,8%) patients in the case of conservative treatment and endoscopic procedures have failed. Postoperative complications developed in 25 patients (49%), specific – in 18 (35,3%) cases. Mortality rate made up 31,4% (n=16). Within a year no recurrences of bleeding after both operations have been observed, survival rate has been 100% after shunt surgeries and 88% – after modified Sugiura-Futagawa operations.
Conclusions. Postoperative period and outcomes of both shunt and disconnection operations at portal hypertension complicated by gastrointestinal bleeding depend upon the class of initial hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Classification). In the case of inability of shunting, shunt thrombosis and ongoing bleeding it seems to be advisable to perform azigoportal disconnection surgery (a modified Sugiura-Futagawa operation), available to provide the reliable hemostasis even in severe patients with satisfactory short- and long-term results.
