Reoperations for Bleeding Portal Hypertension. Surgical Rescue of Surgical Failures (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
Surgery remains the most effective treatment for hemorrhagic portal hypertension (HPH), particularly for low risk patients (Child-Pugh A or B). This study reviews the outcomes of 36 patients who underwent reoperations after surgical failures, focusing on portal blood flow preserving procedures. Results indicate a low operative mortality rate of 12% and a rebleeding rate of 5.5%, with favorable quality of life reported. The Sugiura-Futagawa operation is recommended when selective shunts are not feasible, and overall, surgical intervention presents a viable option for managing complications associated with rebleeding in patients maintaining good liver function.
