title: [Sugiura's operation in portal hypertension].
abstract: The opportunities for surgical treatment of gastro-esophageal varices in patients with portal hypertension are discussed. The results of portal systemic shunts and ablative (devascularizing) operations are compared. The operative technique of Sugiura is described in detail and the modifications aimed at reducing the operative risk and the duration of the intervention are reviewed. Personal experience is recorded with two cases and the positive impressions of this operation. Proceeding from the good postoperative results, especially in patients with nonalcoholic cirrhosis, prevailing in this country, the authors suggest this surgical intervention an alternative method for planned and emergency treatment of part of the patients with hemorrhage from esophageal varices.
