[Initial experiences in drainage operation for refractory ascites with saphenous valves].
Authors explains his operational procedure for the treatment of refractory ascites to replace generally used shunt types (LeVeen, Denver, Agishi). It means leading ascites fluid from the abdominal cavity into the venous system with the help of a silicone drain. For maintaining one-way flow they he used the double saphenous valve before the sapheno-femoral junction. They gives a step by step description of the procedures applied during the operation and also explains the first results. The method well deserves attention and further examination because it is simple, cheap and reliable due to the use of saphenous valves coming from the body itself.
