title: [A modified Sugiura operation].
abstract: This is the first report in Bulgaria of the application of the modified method of Sugiura. The operation is less traumatic than the original one, the postoperative mortality is essentially reduced, patient survival to 7 years is increased and there is no encephalopathy. This operation is technically easier to perform than splenorectal anastomoses and may be performed both as planned and emergency intervention. Two personal observations on two patients operated by the modified technique of Sugiura are reported. The results were very good.
