[Treatment of bleeding esophageal varices by esophago-gastric devascularization and esophageal transection with EEA stapler].
The authors report their experience in the urgency surgery of oesophageal varices on a range of 24 patients operated in the years 1979 and 1980. In consideration of the utter seriousness of this pathology, they consider the direct operations of resection-anastomosis and devascularization of thoracic oesophagus and gastric bottom the most suitable to face the problem. Such operations, burdened by a relatively low mortality (12.5%), get the immediate step of hemorrhage and, 3 years after the first operations performed, gave good remote results. Such assertion expects a further confirmation from a longer follow-up.
