[Surgical treatment of resistant ascites in patients with portal hypertension]. 2003

Surgical methods of treatment of diureticoresistant ascites in 198 patients with portal hypertension are analyzed: portocaval bypass (n = 16), lymphovenous anastomosis (n = 64), ductolysis (n = 24), and peritoneovenous bypass (n = 94). The most stable positive results was achieved after portocaval bypass, but it can be performed only in a small part of patients. Peritoneovenous bypass and lymphovenous anastomosis demonstrated shorter effect but they had less risk and were better tolerated than portocaval bypass. Efficacy of these surgeries depends not only on accurate indications and contraindications but also on functional resource of the liver and organism's reserves. Following these conditions and individual approach to choice of surgical methods of resistant ascites' treatment may improve quality of life and lifespan of patients with portal hypertension.

D008208 Lymphatic System A system of organs and tissues that process and transport immune cells and LYMPH. Lymphatic Systems
D010536 Peritoneovenous Shunt An operation for the continuous emptying of ascitic fluid into the venous system. Fluid removal is based on intraperitoneal and intrathoracic superior vena cava pressure differentials and is performed via a pressure-sensitive one-way valve connected to a tube traversing the subcutaneous tissue of the chest wall to the neck where it enters the internal jugular vein and terminates in the superior vena cava. It is used in the treatment of intractable ascites.
