[Procedure in the surgery of portal hypertension].

The observations of 94 patients operated upon in early period of chronic hepatitis and hepatocirrhosis and 248 lethal outcomes of hepatocirrhosis are analyzed. The follow-up observation reached 15 years. The authors have shown that the earlier the operation was performed the better were the remote results. The analysis of lethal outcomes has shown that patients with portal hypertension are usually passed to surgeons too late. They believe that it is necessary to have a dispensary registration of patients with cirrhosis of the liver and portal hypertension.
