Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Background- Portal hypertension of various etiologies results in various complications, of which most common and dreaded complication is esophago-gastric varices and its bleed. Devascuarisation with our modified technique has a vital role in the management of esophago-gastric vertices, it’s not obsolete procedure. Methods- A Prospective study of 104 patients underwent our modified Devascularization procedure over a period of 8 years from January 2006 to December 2014 in surgical gastroenterology department, SKIMS, INDIA. These patients had a follow up of 8 years to minimum of 1 year. The study patients were compiled in 2015. Results- In our study with our Devascularisation technique, the operative time was 150 mins+/- 30 min, operative blood loss was300 ml +/- 50 ml, during post operative follow up there was no esophageal leak or stenosis, noresidualvarices (0%) and noencephalopathy observed. In12 patients developed recurrentvarices (12.53%), rebleeding occurred in 8(7.69%) patients and 9 patients were died (8.65%), all of them were Child C. Conclusion- In failed medical and endoscopic management of esophagogastric varicesour devascularisation technique has an important role, with less post operative morbidity and mortality and its role will only continue to evolve .
