    Abstract:
    Results of portocaval bypass (1st group), suture ligation of gastric and esophageal varicose veins (2nd group), and combined operations (3rd group) performed in early postoperative period at 759 patients with liver cirrhosis and extrahepatic portal hypertension are analyzed. Long-term results were studied at 549 patients. Early recurrence of bleeding was occurred at 41 (12.9%) patients of 1st group, at 17 (8.5%) of 2nd, and at 2 (4%) patients of 3rd group. Lethality due to bleeding recurrence at 1st group was 5.1% among the patients with liver cirrhosis and 1.9% among ones with extrahepatic portal hypertension. Recurrence of bleeding at 2nd group was seen at 52.8% patients with liver cirrhosis, and at 36.4% - with extrahepatic portal hypertension. Lethality due to bleeding recurrence in this group was 7%. The best results were achieved in 3rd group: the recurrence of bleeding was diagnosed at 2 (7.7%) cases, there was 1 lethal outcome. It is concluded that combined surgical procedures at the patients with portal hypertension permit to reduce the rate of early recurrences of bleeding in 2.5 times. It allow to perform widely the partial portocaval anastomoses at the patients with liver cirrhosis and the bypass procedures at extrahepatic portal hypertension.
