title: [Splenic artery ligature and latero-lateral anastomosis in portal hypertension (author's transl)].
abstract: A new type of shunt for decompressing portal hypertension is described, consisting of ligation of the spleno-renal anastomosis. This reduces the pressure in the portal territory and in the dangerous gastric and oesophageal varices. In addition the procedure also abolishes the marrow inhibition due to splenic activity without removing the spleen and maintaining part of the portal circulation. The advantages and disadvantages of various decompression operations are discussed and compared with other methods in current use.
