  • Title: The use of autologous peritoneum in surgery of portal hypertension: H-shape splenorenal shunt using simple layer peritoneal tube.
    Author: Terwagne N, Marique L, Dieu A, Dahlqvist G, Coubeau L.
    Journal: Acta Gastroenterol Belg; 2022; 85(4):643-645. PubMed ID: 35770289.
    Abstract:
    The management of portal hypertension complicated by iterative gastro-intestinal bleeding remains challenging, especially in a low-income environment. Interventional radiology and endoscopic treatments are not always accessible, and a definitive surgical option may prove to be lifesaving. We report a new technique of surgical portosystemic shunt that can be performed in all contexts. We describe the surgical technique of a H-shaped splenorenal shunt using autologous rolled up peritoneum as a vascular graft.
