[Esophageal-gastric hemorrhage in patients with portal hypertension treated by splenectomy].
The authors report their observations over 336 patients previously subjected to splenectomy for the portal hypertension syndrome. Prior to surgery 66.4% of patients showed esophageal varices, 43.7% - bleeding. After the operation venous varices were noted in 48.2% of patients, bleeding - in 34% of all patients. The causes of hemorrhage occurred in later terms after splenectomy are analysed. A conclusion is made concerning the way how to minimize a probability of hemorrhage recurrence following splenectomy.
