Evolution of Innovative Surgical Techniques Using the Example of Selective Splenorenal Anastomosis Surgery by A. Yu. Anisimov, F. B. Mavlonov, D. E. Erkinova, A. I. Andreev, R. A. Ibragimov, E. Yu. Mandryka

“…The survival rate of patients in group A was significantly lower than that of patients in group B.CONCLUSION Changing the technique of execution through the use of modern innovative surgical techniques intraoperative vascular maneuver exposure and venous reconstruction during the formation of the splenorenal shunt allowed to improve the treatment results of patients with portal hypertension, reduce the duration of surgical interventions from 305.5±44.3 to 198.6±21.1 min (p=0.00155), average intraoperative blood loss from 930.0±198.6 to 385.1±84.7 ml (p=0.00004), reduce the incidence of complications in the early postoperative period, including postoperative pancreatitis from 19.0% to 0, anastomotic thrombosis from 28.6% to 5.7%, and mortality from 33.3% to 8.6% (p<0.05), increase the 8-week survival rate, thereby confirming the viability of the selective shunt operation splenorenal anastomosis, conditioned by the reserve for evolution built into it by the authors .When performed in a center with technical expertise, the procedure provides long-term survival and reliable hemostasis, potentially obviating the need for liver transplantation in a significant number of appropriately selected patients with portal hypertension and relatively preserved liver function.…”
