  • Title: Modified splenorenal shunt with splenopancreatic disconnection.
    Author: Katoh H, Shimozawa E, Kojima T, Tanabe T.
    Journal: Surgery; 1989 Nov; 106(5):920-4. PubMed ID: 2683175.
    Abstract:
    Distal splenorenal shunt with splenopancreatic disconnection is a difficult surgical procedure; therefore its use is not widespread. We present a modified technique that facilitates the procedure and also ensures maintenance of portal flow by adding gastric devascularization and gastric disconnection. Our results compare favorably with the standard distal splenorenal shunt.
