    Author: Eramishantsev AK, Kitsenko EA, Nechaenko AM.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 2003; (10):45-51. PubMed ID: 14597956.
    Abstract:
    Experience in gastrectomy with suturing of varicose veins (VV) of the esophagus and stomach (M.D. Patsiora's surgery) in 349 patients with extrahepatic portal hypertension (EPH) is reviewed. Short and long-term results of this surgery through abdominal and transthoracal approach are analyzed. Postoperative lethality in patients with EPH after elective surgery was 5.0%, urgent surgery--16%. Recurrence of esophagogastric bleeding in postoperative period was seen in 23 (6.6%) patients. 286 patients were followed up from 1 to 10 years. Recurrence of esophageal-gastric bleeding was seen in 104 (36.4%) patients and led to death in 19 (18.3%) of them. It is concluded that suturing of esophageal and gastric VV in patients with EPH is a method of choice both in prolonged bleeding and as preventive elective surgery when creation of vascular anastomosis is impossible.
