title: [Ligation of the esophagus in hemorrhage resulting from portal hypertension in children].
abstract: The authors present a technique of the operation described by Vosschulte and Boerema and aimed at ligation of the esophagus for prophylaxis and arrest of hemorrhage from esophageal varices. "Collapsible prostheses" were used in 8 operations on 7 patients. In primary interventions the authors proposed laparotomy giving a good possibility for manipulations on the esophagocardial portion of the stomach. In secondary operations a transthoracic access with diaphragmotomy was used. The most frequent complication--scarry constriction of the esophagus--can be easily eliminated due to timely diagnosis and cardiodilatation. No recurrent bleedings were noted. The endoscopic and X-ray examinations failed to reveal esophageal varices.
