ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the technical and essential steps in laparoscopic selective devascularization with paraesophageal veins-preservation.Methods:To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 13 cirrhotic patients who underwent laparoscopic selective pericardial devascularization for portal hypertension at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to March 2020. There were 9 males and 4 females with age ranging from 41 to 83 years (median 51 years). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications and follow-up data were analyzed.Results:All the 13 patients completed theoperation, no patient stopped the operation or transferred to laparotomy. The operation time was (170±32) min.The intraoperative bleeding was (160±30) ml. The postoperative hospital stay was (6.1±1.1) days. There were no complications, including pancreatic leakage and intra-abdominal infection. On follow-up which ranged from 1 to 15 months, one patient developed portal vein thrombosis, no upper gastrointestinal rebleeding.Conclusions:Preservation of esophageal veins in laparoscopic selective devascularization is an accurate surgery which requires close teamwork and rich experience in laparoscopic surgery. The preservation of the main trunk of the gastric coronary vein and integrity of the esophageal veins are the keys to the surgery which is safe and feasible.
