Abstract

Having studied the experience of 84 resections of the oesophagus and gastric cardia in patients with portal hypertension and taking into account postoperative complications (reflux-oesophagitis, progressing loss of weight, dispeptic disorders, phenomena of agastric asthenia etc.) the authors came to a conclusion that the indications for this surgical intervention should be lessened and recommended the indication to be justified only as the last attempt of the surgeon in his struggle against recurrent hemorrhage from varicose veins of the oesophagus which should be preceded with transthoracic oesophago- or gastrotomy with the ligation of varicose veins.
