    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1975 Apr; 114(4):103-5. PubMed ID: 1083581.
    Abstract:
    The authors report their observations over 336 patients previously subjected to splenectomy for the portal hypertension syndrome. Prior to surgery 66.4% of patients showed esophageal varices, 43.7% - bleeding. After the operation venous varices were noted in 48.2% of patients, bleeding - in 34% of all patients. The causes of hemorrhage occurred in later terms after splenectomy are analysed. A conclusion is made concerning the way how to minimize a probability of hemorrhage recurrence following splenectomy.
