    Abstract:
    The results of treatment of 79 patients with hepatic cirrhosis and different manifestations of portal hypertension, who had a distal splenorenal anastomosis been created, were studied. The features of hepatic failure after the operation were noted in 37 (46.8%) patients. Of them; 18 died. Within a five-year period, 56.4% of the patients are alive. The lifetime was the shortest in patients with ascites which developed after bleeding from the esophageal and gastric varices. The authors stress the importance of the development of criteria for evaluation of risk factors and efficacy of the operation.
