Esophageal transection with the EEA stapler was performed in five patients with bleeding esophageal varices. Bleeding from varices has not recurred in surviving patients during follow-up of up to 27 months. One death occurred during the postoperative period. Esophageal transection with the EEA stapler is an effective means of preventing recurrent variceal hemorrhage. This technique is best suited for patients requiring emergency operation to prevent exsanguination and for those in whom a major shunting procedure is contraindicated because of the severity of hepatic disease or other medical illness.
对5例食管静脉曲张出血患者实施了使用端端吻合器的食管横断术。在长达27个月的随访期间，存活患者的静脉曲张出血未再复发。术后有1例死亡。使用端端吻合器进行食管横断术是预防静脉曲张复发出血的有效方法。该技术最适合需要紧急手术以防止失血过多的患者，以及因肝病严重程度或其他内科疾病而禁忌进行大型分流手术的患者。
