Overall 438 children with extrahepatic portal hypertension underwent surgical treatment. Portal-systemic bypass was performed at 383 patients, meso-portal bypass -- at 56. These surgical procedures were effective at 96.4% cases. All the children with bleeding recurrences were operated repeatedly. Meso-portal bypass not only prevents risk of bleeding but also reconstruct normal anatomy and physiology of portal system.

Portal hypertension is one of the most serious complications of childhood liver disease, and variceal bleeding is the most feared complication. Most portal hypertension results from cirrhosis but extra hepatic portal vein obstruction is the single commonest cause. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy endoscopy remains necessary to diagnose gastro-esophageal varices.

Background/purpose: In children with portal vein (PV) thrombosis, hepatopetal portal flow can be restored by an innovative surgical procedure, the meso-portal-bypass (MPB), if the umbilical portion of the intrahepatic left PV and the superior mesenteric vein are patent. This is associated with resolution of symptoms related to extrahepatic portal hypertension (EHPH). However, no data are available yet on intrahepatic hemodynamic changes after MPB.
