title: [Selective splenorenal shunt and post-transfusional hepatitis. Short and medium-term follow-up].
abstract: Eighteen patients with protal hypertension were studied. Portal hypertension was due to schistosomiasis (N = 9), cirrhosis (N = 7) and congenital hepatic fibrosis (N = 2) diagnosed by surgical biopsy during the decompressive surgery (selective splenorenal shunt). All the patients have had at least one episode of digestive hemorrhage due to rupture of esophageal varices and received blood transfusion before or during surgery. The incidence of post-transfusion hepatitis was 44% (eight cases). The short and medium-term follow-up was good regardless the etiology of portal hypertension. The authors attributed these results mainly to good hepatic function at the time of surgery, younger patient population and good surgical technical conditions.
