Pre- and postoperative systemic hemodynamic evaluation in patients subjected to esophagogastric devascularization plus splenectomy and distal splenorenal shunt: A comparative study in schistomomal portal hypertension

Abstract: The hyperdynamic circulatory state observed in mansonic schistosomiasis was corrected by EGDS, but was maintained in patients who underwent DSRS. Similarly, the elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure was corrected after EGDS and maintained after DSRS. EGDS seems to be the most physiologic surgery for patients with schistosomal portal hypertension.

“…This syndrome generally results in two severe complications: bleeding from esophagogastric varices and thrombocytopenia due to hypersplenism. The combination of splenectomy and esophagogastric devascularization (ED) is an efficacious surgical procedure for portal hypertension [3,4], because these two major problems can be solved at the same time [5]. Recently, some significant advances in laparoscopy equipment and skill have enabled total laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) + ED [6].…”

“…Considering the severity of previous bleeding episodes and the high recurrence rate in a short interval of time, moreover the high incidence of large esophageal varices and the presence of red spots, treatment should be aggressive to avoid bleeding recurrence. The majority of groups that lead with the disease employ esophagogastric devascularization (azigo-portal disconnection) and splenectomy as the preferred surgical treatment 5,6,8,11,14 .…”

“…To date, several studies, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs), have compared the outcomes of devascularization and shunt (25)(26)(27)(28) . However, The role of shunt and devascularization in portal hypertension still a topic of debate (29) . These surgical shunts have their own limitations like availability of the veins, requires longer operative time than devascularistion which is main concern in hemodynamically compromised patients, surgical expertise, preoperative angiography to declineate anatomy abdominal vessels and higher risk of shunt thrombosis (30)(31)(32)(33) .…”
