Varizes de fundo gástrico na hipertensão portal esquistossomótica: resultados cirúrgicos

Abstract: submetidos à esplenectomia com ligadura da veia gástrica esquerda (LVGE), desvascularização da grande curvatura do estômago e esclerose endoscópica pós-operatória, para o tratamento da hipertensão portal esquistossomótica com antecedentes de hemorragia digestiva. Quando da presença de varizes de fundo gástrico (44/125) foi associado ao procedimento cirúrgico, a abertura do estômago e sutura das varizes. Resultados: Varizes de fundo gástrico foram identificadas em 35,2% (44/125) dos pacientes com esquistossomos… Show more

“…Over four decades we continue following and defending these principles, evidently matching the pillars of thought with the available new technologies and newly acquired pathophysiological knowledge. Thus, since 1992 we perform splenectomy with ligation of left gastric vein associated with partial devascularization of the greater curvature of the stomach and subsequent endoscopic treatment of esophageal varices [1][2][3]17,18,20 . Splenectomy in hepatosplenic schistosomiasis with previous gastrointestinal bleeding requires a correction in the values of hematological alterations (anemia, leukocytes, lymphocytes, and platelets), and an average reduction of portal pressure of about 28% 15,27 -29 .…”

“…Surgical treatment of schistosomal portal hypertension followed the standard operations of general surgery at the Hospital das Clínicas, UFPE: stomach greater curvature devascularization, splenectomy, left gastric vein ligation, liver biopsy and postoperative endoscopic sclerosis of esophageal varices, 3,17,18,20 . When there were varices in the gastric fundus (64/169) we associated a routine opening of the stomach and suturing of the gastric fundus varices.…”

“…The advantages of this technique are the relative ease to perform and direct access to gastric varices that are usually challenging in patients with PH. The gastric varices are present in 20% of PH cases, and they rise to 35% in HSS patients 16 . Gastric varices represent less than 2% of initial presentation of digestive bleeding, however their bleeding are more severe than esophageal varices.…”

“…Apesar de se verifi car redução de cerca de 50% no número de casos de esquistossomose mansônica (EM) no Brasil nas últimas duas décadas, assim como redução da taxa de mortalidade, a EM continua representando sério problema de saúde pública (6,13,26) . Formas graves da EM continuam a colocar em risco a vida dos pacientes.…”
