    Abstract:
    During 1976-2007 in the Republican Specialized Center of Surgery named after acad. Vakhidov various types of portosystemic shunting were performed in 669 patients with portal hypertension. The aim was to estimate the influence of HBV- and HCV-cirrhosis on the formation of portal hypertension and the results of portosystenic shunting. An analysis of 115 liver cirrhosis patients with portal hypertension was made to find out which of them had variceal bleeding and high risk of its development. Such operations were performed in all these patients by the period of 2004-2007 years. Various types of portosystemic shunting were performed in all cases. The analysis has shown that unlike HCV-cirrhoses, HBV cirrhoses are characterized by more progressive course with a short period of a compensation pause in relation to progression of hepatocellular insufficiency, but a less pronounced risk of hemorrhagic complications.
