    Abstract:
    Since January 1988 to February 1993, 116 cases of cirrhotic portal hypertension were treated with portazygos disconnection. 37 cases were treated with Hassab's procedure, 36 cases were treated with amplification Hassab's procedure, 33 cases were treated with pericardial devascularization with circular interruption of blood flow of fundus, 10 cases were treated with transthoracic portazygos disconnection. The operative mortality was 6.9%. The hemorrhage rate was 8.6% in one month after the operation. All of 108 patients discharged from the hospital were followed up for 14 months to 75 months. The recurrent hemorrhage rate was 18.5% in the period. The one-year and three-year survival rate after the operation were 94.2% and 81.8%, respectively. The results we have got indicate that amplification Hassab's procedure and transthoracic portazygos disconnection have good effect.
