[Surgical treatment of resistant ascites in patients with portal hypertension].
Surgical methods of treatment of diureticoresistant ascites in 198 patients with portal hypertension are analyzed: portocaval bypass (n = 16), lymphovenous anastomosis (n = 64), ductolysis (n = 24), and peritoneovenous bypass (n = 94). The most stable positive results was achieved after portocaval bypass, but it can be performed only in a small part of patients. Peritoneovenous bypass and lymphovenous anastomosis demonstrated shorter effect but they had less risk and were better tolerated than portocaval bypass. Efficacy of these surgeries depends not only on accurate indications and contraindications but also on functional resource of the liver and organism's reserves. Following these conditions and individual approach to choice of surgical methods of resistant ascites' treatment may improve quality of life and lifespan of patients with portal hypertension.
