SURGICAL APPROACH UNDER PORTAL HYPERTENSION AT CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS OF THE FAR-EASTERN REGION

Abstract

The paper provides experience of surgical treatment administered in Clinic of Children Surgical Diseases of the Vladivostok State Medical University to 127 children and adolescents aged 1-14 suffering from portal hypertension. Under such conditions application of splenorenal anastomosis is considered to be a preferable procedure. In author's opinion, splenectomy does not apply to children. Under splenomegaly and hypersplenism the operation of choice is resection of spleen. Application of the mesentericoportal shunting in the Clinic is very promising, especially in cases of anhepatic portal hypertension.
