title: [Portal hypertension. Choice of therapy for children under 10 years: shunt or palliative surgery?].
abstract: Over the last 17 years, 65 cases of portal hypertension have been treated. Major surgery (shunt or disconnection) was performed in 22 children, 7 of these operations being conducted over the last two years by employing two recently developed techniques (Warren's selective distal splenorenal shunt, and Sugiura's wide azygoportal disconnection).
