Technical advancement in surgical treatment of portal hypertension / 中华肝脏病杂志

ABSTRACT

Recently, there have been many developments and improvements in portal hypertension surgery, but there are still many controversies regarding the surgical indications, the timing of surgery, and the choice of surgical procedures. Minimally invasive laparoscopy and robotics are the leading direction for the development of surgical techniques for portal hypertension. Surgical selection procedures should be based on evidence-based, but guidelines should not be blindly followed. Surgical development needs to strengthen multidisciplinary cooperation, and surgical reform is the driving force for surgical development.
