Evolution of Innovative Surgical Techniques Using the Example of Selective Splenorenal Anastomosis Surgery by A. Yu. Anisimov, F. B. Mavlonov, D. E. Erkinova, A. I. Andreev, R. A. Ibragimov, E. Yu. Mandryka

“…RELEVANCE Despite the obvious successes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and orthotopic liver transplantation in some high-tech centers of the Russian Federation, the relevance of substantiating the use of selective splenorenal anastomoses in the treatment plan for portal hypertension, when hundreds of patients return to emergency surgery departments every year after conservative treatment with new episodes of bleeding, liver failure and high mortality rates, is beyond doubt.AIM OF THE STUDY To substantiate the viability of the selective splenorenal anastomosis operation by improving the technique of performing the intraoperative vascular maneuver exposure and venous reconstruction through the use of original modern innovative approaches.MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective controlled clinical study included 56 patients with intrahepatic portal hypertension with relatively preserved liver function, in whose complex treatment program for secondary prevention of bleeding, various options for selective splenorenal bypass surgery were used. …”
