ABSTRACT

The authors have performed Sugiura's operation since 1979 in 17 patients in bleeding from varicose veins of the esophagus. The patient's ages ranged from 14 to 69 years. Portal hypertension was caused by hepatic cirrhosis in 14 and extrahepatic blockade in 3 patients. Emergency operations were carried out in 12 and planned interventions on 5 patients. The 3 patients with extrahepatic blockade and 7 patients with Groups A and B hepatic cirrhosis (according to Child's classification) recovered. Among 7 patients with group C 4 died (total mortality, 24%). Recurrent bleeding was not encountered in long-term postoperative follow-up periods of up to 10 years.
