PURPOSE: Concomitant splenectomy in cirrhotic patients is known to ameliorate the tendency to bleed and it decreases the portal venous pressure (PVP). However, the direct measurement of the change in the PVP after concomitant splenectomy has not yet been reported. We tried to measure the change of the PVP before and after splenectomy. METHODS: From March 2000 to May 2006, 18 patients underwent anatomical liver resection with concomitant splenectomy. All the patients had liver cirrhosis, thrombocytopenia and/or esophageal varix. Through the 5 French feeding tube, which was inserted into the right gastroepiploic vein after laparotomy, we directly measured the PVP before and after splenectomy, and also under portal triad clamping (PTC). RESULTS: After splenectomy, the PVP decreased significantly from 261.11+/-45.87 mmH2O to 221.11+/-38.48 mmH2O (p<0.05). Under PTC, the PVP decreased significantly from 605.00+/-116.48 mmH2O to 513.89+/-70.56 mmH2O (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Concomitant splenectomy in patients with liver cirrhosis resulted in a significant reduction of the PVP.

BACKGROUND: Portal triad clamping (PTC) during hepatic resection (Pringle maneuver, PM) can afford reduced intraoperative bleeding and bloodless surgical field. But inflow obstruction of blood to liver during PM can bring hemodynamic changes to the patient. This study was designed to evaluate the hemodynamic changes before, during and after PM application during hepatic resection. We also compared the hemodynamic effects of hepatic cooling before PM with/without portal decompression during PM. METHODS: The patients were divided into three groups; PM (P group, n=9), PM after hepatic cooling with 400 ml of 4oC lactated Ringer's solution (LR) (C+P group, n=13), PM after hepatic cooling and portal decompression with portocaval shunt (C+P+S group, n=7). Systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), cardiac index (CI) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured before, during and after PM. RESULTS: Portal pressure of C+P+S group (208.3+/-36.6 mmH2O) was lower than P (487.3+/-92.9 mmH2O) and C P (553.6+/-77.0 mmH2O) group during PM. CIs of P and C P group were decreased (15, 13% respectively) during PM. After reperfusion, CIs and SVRIs of P, C+P and C+P+S group were all increased (CI; 33, 26, 50%, SVRI; 30, 40, 50%, respectively) than end of PM. CONCLUSION: PM itself doesn't make abrupt hemodynamic change. Hepatic cooling with 4oC LR (400 ml) before PM increases MAP because of increased SVRI. Reperfusion after PM for 50 minutes, hemodynamic depression could occur by decreased SVRI, especially in case of decompressed portal pressure with portocaval shunt during PM.
