  • Laparoscopic Splenectomy Combined with Pericardial Devascularization for Treatment of Portal Hypertension Induced by Liver Cirrohosis

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the operative technique and clinical efficacy of laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) combined with esophagogastric devascularization in treatment of portal hypertension induced by liver cirrhosis. MethodsTwelve cases with esophageal and gastric varices induced by portal hypertension and liver cirrhosis were treated by the LS combined with esophagogastric devascularization in our department from March 2009 to August 2010, which clinical data were analyzed and summarized retrospectively. ResultsThe splenic artery was ligated before the treatment of splenic pedicle in 12 cases, LS combined with pericardial devascularization was successfully performed in 10 cases, 7 cases of which were treated by the level two transection method of splenic pedicle, and 2 cases were converted to open surgery due to intraoperative bleeding. In 10 cases, the operative time was 180-300 min (average 210 min), and intraoperative blood loss was 200-1 000 ml (average 480 ml). The postoperative hospital stay was 8-15 d (average 9 d), the postoperative complications included plural effusion (lt;300 ml) in 2 cases, mild ascites (lt;300 ml) in 2 cases, and mild pancreatic leakage in 1 case, but all were cured eventually, and no mortality occurred. Followup was conducted in 12 patients for 4 to 20 months (average 7 months), and no rebleeding occurred. ConclusionsLS combined with pericardial devascularization is relatively safe and effective methods in treatment of portal hypertension induced by liver cirrhosis. The keys to success include ligation of splenic artery, and the use of harmonic scalpel combined with ligasure to treat splenic pedicle.

  • Study of Multi-slice CT Portography Imaging in the Diagnosis and Evaluation of Esophageal and Gastric Varices in Cirrhosis Patients

    ObjectiveTo study the application value of multi-slice CT portography (MSCTP) in the diagnosis and evaluation of esophageal and gastric varices (EGV) caused by cirrhosis. MethodsPatients with cirrhosis diagnosed between September 2009 and December 2012 were screened in this study. And the consistency of MSCTP and digestive endoscopy in the diagnosis, classification and grading of EGV in cirrhosis were evaluated. ResultsA total of 78 patients were included in this study, and there were 55 patients with EGV diagnosed by endoscopy, including 35, 16 and 4 patients with GOV1, GOV2 and IGV1 respectively by Satin type standards; and the number of patients with mild, moderate and severe EGV by general grading standards was 2, 15, and 37, respectively. In this cohort, the findings of MSCTP examination also showed that 58 patients had EGV, including 36, 17, 4 and 1 patients with GOV1, GOV2, IGV1 and IGV2 by Satin type standards; and the number of patients with grade I,Ⅱ andⅢ EGV by Kim grading standards was 5, 16 and 37, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that there was a high consistency between endoscopy and MSCTP in the diagnosis (Kappa=0.712, P=0.000), typing (Kappa=0.732, P=0.000) or grading (Kappa=0.863, P=0.000) of EGV. ConclusionMSCTP has a high application value in the diagnosis and severity evaluation of EGV in patients with cirrhosis.
