INDICATIONS Portal decompression is indicated in patients who have
portal hypertension complicated by gastrointestinal hemorrhage from esophageal varices that are not e ectively controlled with sclerotherapy injections. Some procedures completely interrupt portal venous  ow to the liver (end-to-side portacaval shunt), while others selectively decompress the portal system via a collateral shunt (side-to-side portacaval, spleno­renal, and mesocaval).  e procedure selected will depend upon the pat­ency of the portal and splenic veins, the results of liver function studies, the amount of portal venous blood being shunted, and whether the patient is bleeding acutely.
Selection of patients should be based on their clinical status, results of liver function studies, and interpretation of hepatic hemodynamics as determined by radiologic studies. Patients considered for shunting proce­dures generally should be under  years of age. Ideally, there should be no evidence of encephalopathy, jaundice, ascites, or muscle wasting. Serum albumin should be above  g/dL, prothrombin time greater than . times normal, and sodium sulfobromophthalein below  at  minutes. Devia­tion from these criteria does not absolutely contraindicate surgery, but the surgical risk is directly proportional to the degree of hepatic decompensa­tion. Finally, liver transplantation may be considered.
Shunting procedures for portal hypertension can be divided into three types: portacaval, splenorenal, and mesocaval. figures a through f show diagrammatically the basic surgical choices for diversion of the portal venous  ow.
PORTACAVAL SHUNT
 e primary indication for portacaval shunt is the control of massive upper-gastrointestinal hemorrhage from varices which cannot be con­trolled with endoscopic ablation or when transjugular intrahepatic porto­systemic shunts (TIPS) are not available. Portacaval shunts are sometimes preferred when there has been prior splenectomy, splenic vein thrombosis, reversal of  ow in the portal vein, thrombosed splenorenal shunt, ascites, or hepatic vein thrombosis.  e selection of a direct portacaval shunt, of course, depends upon the demonstration of a patent portal vein preopera­tively or at laparotomy.
 e side-to-side anastomosis (figure a) has been preferred by some in the presence of portal hypertension with no evidence of a rise in pressure on the hepatic end of the temporarily occluded portal vein.  is suggests that the arterial blood supply is going through the liver and that lowering of the portal pressure by the side-to-side anastomosis with the vena cava will not result in diversion of the arterial supply to the liver. Another advan­tage of this type of shunt is that it decompresses the hepatic sinusoids, and this may be bene cial in the treatment of patients with intractable ascites accompanied by variceal hemorrhage.
 e usefulness of the portacaval shunt in the treatment of refractory ascites is not accepted universally, although several studies have suggested that this is an e ective mode of therapy. If shunting is indicated to control ascites, the side-to-side shunt or double end-to-side shunt is usually pre­ferred.  is is particularly true in unusual cases of hepatic vein thrombosis (Budd-Chiari). No decompressive procedure on the portal system has any bene cial e ect on liver function.  e end result of any such operation, therefore, will depend largely upon the progress of the basic liver disease.
 e end-to-side portacaval shunt (figure b) is the procedure of choice in patients who have had a prior splenectomy, splenic vein thrombosis, or thrombosis of a splenorenal shunt and in those patients who have reversed  ow in the portal vein. In this procedure the portal vein is ligated in the hilus of the liver, and the distal portion of the portal vein is anastomosed to the inferior vena cava.  is shunt is particularly indicated when there is no evidence of ascites and when portal blood  ow is reversed in the hepato­portal direction, as determined by a rising pressure in the hepatic end of the
temporarily occluded portal vein. With the end-to-side anastomosis, all of the portal venous blood  ow is shunted from the liver, while hepatic artery  ow to the liver is preserved.
See Plates  and  for details of the portacaval shunting procedures.
SPLENORENAL SHUNT
In the presence of extrahepatic block of the portal vein, secondary hyper­splenism, prior biliary surgery, and/or cavernomatous changes of the por­tal vein, a shunt between the splenic vein and le renal vein may be the procedure of choice, provided the splenic vein is patent and of adequate size. If it is necessary or desirable to remove the spleen, a conventional splenorenal anastomosis (figure c) may be performed.  e distal sple­norenal shunt (Warren shunt, figure d) retains the spleen and, while selectively decompressing the esophageal varices, allows maintenance of portal pressure and perfusion of the liver, thus providing protection against hepatic encephalopathy.  is shunt is particularly indicated in the presence of normal liver function, high volume of portal  ow to the liver, minimal hepatocellular disease, marked splenomegaly, or idiopathic por­tal hypertension.  e procedure consists of dividing the splenic vein at its junction with the superior mesenteric vein, ligating the proximal portion of the vein, and anastomosing the distal portion to the le renal vein. As an alternative to dividing the splenic vein, an interposition gra may be anastomosed between the splenic vein and the le renal vein, with ligation of the splenic vein proximal to the gra as well as ligation of the coronary and right gastroepiploic veins.
See Plates  through  for details of the Warren splenorenal shunting
procedures.
MESOCAVAL SHUNT
In most instances portal decompression may be accomplished by portacaval or splenorenal shunt procedures. However, the Clatworthy mesocaval shunt (figure e) is necessary in patients who have undergone splenectomy and have either thrombosis or cavernomatous changes of the portal vein.  e mesocaval shunt is advisable in patients with excessive bleeding at surgery from periportal or perisplenic vessels. Finally, it should be the procedure of choice in small children in whom the splenic and/or portal veins may be too small for a successful procedure (minimal size approximately  cm in diameter). Elective shunts in children should be postponed, if possible, until the age of  years.  e procedure consists of division of the superior vena cava and anastomosis side to end with the superior mesenteric vein.
In cases of emergency, a lesser technical procedure without division of the inferior vena cava can be accomplished by the interposition of a large knitted Dacron gra between the vena cava and superior mesenteric vein at the level of its  rst branches (figure f).  is modi cation of the mesocaval shunt (interposition mesocaval shunt or Drapanas shunt) o ers the advan­tages of a simpli ed technical approach with minimal blood loss.
 e details of mesocaval shunting procedures are shown in earlier editions of this atlas.
MISCELLANEOUS PROCEDURES
Active bleeding from esophageal varices in patients is usually controlled by sclerotherapy. An alternate approach is to introduce a stapling device into the lower esophagus through an anterior gastrotomy opening.  e esopha­geal wall is compressed between the two components of the stapler by an encircling  silk ligature. When the stapler is  red, a complete transec­tion of the esophagus occurs with excision of a narrow ring of esophagus. Additional sutures may be taken about the anastomosis for added security. Since the vagus nerves are divided, a pyloroplasty is performed.  e splenic artery as well as the coronary vein may be ligated.

INDICATIONS See Plate .
PREOPERATIVE PREPARATION  e patient’s ability to tolerate a porta-
caval shunt procedure depends primarily upon the state of liver function at the time of the procedure. In general, every e ort should be made to improve the patient’s general nutrition and hepatic state before surgery. Several weeks of careful medical management of diet, diuretics, and activ­ity are o en necessary. A er a careful history and physical examination, hepatic function studies and hepatosplanchnic hemodynamic determina­tions are obtained.
If the patient is bleeding, the acute phase of the hemorrhage from the gas­trointestinal tract requires prompt control with sclerotherapy or with an intrae­sophageal pressure balloon. Vasopressin may be administered as a continuous intravenous infusion ( to  units per hour) or as a selective intraarterial infusion (superior mesenteric artery at . to . unit per minute). In addi­tion to vasopressin’s e ciency in reducing portal pressure, it helps evacuate blood and fecal residue from the alimentary tract. If vasopressin is not admin­istered, it is essential to remove old blood by means of colonic irrigation.  is simpli es exposure and reduces the risk of ammonia intoxication. Nonab­sorbable antibacterial agents are used to control nitrogen-splitting bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Blood volume should be restored preoperatively by careful use of blood, albumin, and lactated Ringer’s solution. Fresh whole blood products, platelet transfusion, and vitamin K are sometimes indicated, depending upon the results of coagulation studies.
Liver function must be evaluated using a combination of clinical factors and laboratory studies. A history of jaundice or ascites indicates an increased surgical risk. Serum albumin should be above  g/dL and prothrombin time less than . times normal.  e partial thromboplastin time and platelet count should be within normal limits. If there are any deviations from these values, correction should be attempted with vitamin K and parenteral administra­tion of albumin, fresh frozen plasma, or whole blood. Diuretic therapy may be necessary in those patients with ascites. Appropriate steps must be taken to control electrolyte and acid-base balance, especially hypokalemic alkalo­sis. Coagulation de cits other than those associated with prothrombin may be corrected with fresh frozen plasma and platelet concentrate. At the time of surgery,  to  units of whole blood should be available.
Esophagoscopy and gastroscopy should be obtained routinely along with appropriate barium studies of the esophagus and stomach. Hepatos­planchnic hemodynamics can be determined by estimation of total hepatic blood  ow, liver scan, hepatic vein catheterization, splenoportography, indirect portography, and visceral angiography. Total hepatic blood  ow can be estimated using radionuclide scanning. Using hepatic vein catheter­ization, it is possible to determine the degree of portal hypertension and the amount of hepatopetal portal blood  ow. Splenoportography is usually the single best source of estimating portal hemodynamics. Prerequisites for this study are that prothrombin time be less than . times normal and the operating room be available, should trouble from hemorrhage develop.  is study will reveal the degree of portal hypertension, and according to the degree of opaci cation of the portal vein, it can give valuable informa­tion concerning the degree of compromise of portal blood  ow to the liver. Information obtained from these hemodynamic studies may in uence the choice of shunt to be performed.
P S
ANESTHESIA A general anesthetic is required.  e major hazards during
anesthesia are hypoxia and hypotension.  ese hazards are more signi ­cant than the e ect of any particular anesthetic agent commonly employed today. However, there is su cient reason to suspect the possible danger of using halogenated compounds in patients with impaired liver function, and therefore these agents should not be used during the operation.  e other commonly employed general anesthetic agents and the muscle relaxants appear to have no adverse e ect on liver function. Provision should be made for the rapid administration of blood and  uids in adequate amounts.
POSITION Elevation of the right side to a -degree angle aids in extension
of the right subcostal incision into the  ank and provides additional expo­sure for this procedure. If the choice between the portacaval and splenore­nal shunt has not been made before operation, the patient should be le in the supine position so that either procedure may be carried out merely by extending the initial central incision in the appropriate direction.
OPERATIVE PREPARATION  e skin is cleansed higher than the nipples
and well down to the symphysis. Likewise, the chest, particularly on the le side, should be prepared, since an extension of the incision into the thorax may be necessary.
INCISION AND EXPOSURE Along the right subcostal margin, an incision
is made crossing the le rectus muscle and extending well into the  ank (figure 1a). Satisfactory exposure may also be obtained with a large mid­line incision that extends to the xyphoid (figure 1b).
DETAILS OF PROCEDURE  e routine exploration is carried out a er the
peritoneal cavity is opened.  e diagnosis of portal hypertension is con­ rmed by catheterization of an omental vein (figure 2), preferably toward the stomach.  is is useful even if splenic pulp pressure has been measured preoperatively, since measurement at this time will permit a more valid comparison of preshunt and postshunt pressures.  e pressure usually will measure  cm of saline or higher above the portal vein level. Considerably lower pressures would not indicate the necessity or desirability of a shunt­ing procedure. If a previous splenoportogram has shown the presence of a satisfactory portal vein, dissection is begun by mobilizing the duodenum. If the presence of a suitable portal vein for shunting is in doubt, this vein should be isolated and surveyed with a portal venogram before exposure of the vena cava. Collateral venous networks are usually enlarged considerably over the posterior peritoneum and subject to increased pressure.  erefore, this normally avascular area may be quite the opposite, and dissection dur­ing the Kocher maneuver should progress by clamping and ligating the peri­toneal surfaces, rather than by making the usual simple incision lateral to the descending portion of the duodenum (figure 3).  is precaution applies to all dissection during this procedure in the retroperitoneal space and in the hepatoduodenal ligament.  e inferior vena cava ordinarily is exposed without great di culty (figure 4). A required additional exposure may be obtained in the presence of an enlarged caudate lobe of the liver by resecting a portion of that lobe.  rough-and-through mattress sutures of  silk are placed to control the bleeding before the liver is divided.  e caudate lobe is freed from the vena cava, and the veins encountered are ligated (figures 5 and 6). Argon-beam electrocoagulation may be useful.

DETAILS OF PROCEDURE  e portal vein is next identi ed
in the hepatoduodenal ligament by the same careful dissection (figure 7). It may be helpful during this dissection to place a tape or rubber tissue drain about the common bile duct in order to facilitate exposure of the portal vein (figure 8).  e portal vein should be exposed from the hilum of the liver to the superior surface of the pancreas, where the usual pancreatic tributaries should be located and protected. Once the three structures of the hepatodu­odenal ligament have been identi ed clearly, the remaining adipose tissue containing enlarged venous and lymphatic channels may be divided in order to bring the portal vein in proximity with the vena cava (figure 9).  e area at which the portal vein crosses closest to the cava is ordinarily just proximal to the entrance of the renal veins.
At this point, if a side-to-side shunt has been decided upon, two non­crushing clamps are applied to the portal vein so that it may be rotated to expose its inferior surface (figure 10).  is is necessary to prevent twisting or angulation of the portal vein as the anastomosis is accom-
P S
plished. Two points must be borne in mind in preparing the anastomotic sites.  e  rst is that the portal vein and the inferior vena cava are not parallel to each other; therefore openings in the longitudinal axis of each vein would result in twisting of the anastomotic site when the clamps are released. It is necessary to incise the portal vein obliquely to avoid any twisting (figure 11). Second, a simple longitudinal window, either in the portal vein or in the vena cava, is not adequate for a satisfactory shunt because of the low pressures in the venous system. A simple slit open­ing will behave more like a valve and tend to close, resulting in a high incidence of shunt failure.  e anastomosis should be between windows cut in the veins by excising a de nite portion of their walls in an ellipti­cal fashion (figure 12). Usually it is not necessary to cross-clamp the vena cava completely. A curved, noncrushing clamp, placed to exclude a portion of the lumen, is satisfactory for this purpose (figure 13).  e anastomosis should be made so that it is at least as large as the diameter of the portal vein.

DETAILS OF PROCEDURE  e anastomosis itself is usually
accomplished by a continuous suture of  ne, nonabsorbable suture mate­rial on atraumatic needles. Two angle sutures of  arterial synthetic material are placed with knots tied on the outside (figure 14). Both the portal vein and the inferior vena cava are very fragile. It is therefore neces­sary to use the utmost caution during the suturing process to avoid trauma to these vein walls.  is caution should apply not only to the surgeon doing the actual suturing but equally, if not more, to the assistant holding the clamps. A very slight shearing force created by shi ing the vascular clamps in relation to each other may easily disrupt a partly completed anastomosis. Leaks from the anastomotic site, particularly along the le side of the anas­tomosis, may be di cult to expose for subsequent resuturing.  e anas­tomosis is completed (figures 15 and 16) and the occluding clamps are released one at a time to check the adequacy of the suture line. Although the portal vein represents the high-pressure system in this anastomosis, it is usually convenient to release one of the portal clamps  rst, since these are normally easier to reapply if hemostasis is not satisfactory. A er all clamps are released, it is frequently possible to detect the functioning of the shunt by visible turbulence in the vena cava. Palpation of the opening between the two veins by invaginating the anterior wall of the portal vein can also be used to verify the patency of the anastomosis. Repeat measurement of pressure in the portal system will normally show that it has been reduced to about half of its preoperative level.
P S
END-TO-SIDE PORTACAVAL SHUNT
 e completed end-to-side anastomosis is illustrated (figure 17).  is is usu­ally accomplished by dividing the portal vein as close as possible to the liver hilum. It is important not to leave the proximal stump of the portal vein too short, since this is a large vein and under considerable pressure. One should leave room for a double ligature, the second being a trans xation suture liga­ture with several millimeters of vein cu to assure adequate control of the hepatic side of the portal vein (figure 18). A longer stump of portal vein is retained if a double end-to-side shunt is indicated (figure 19). A noncrush­ing vascular clamp is placed on the portal vein as close to the pancreas as pos­sible to leave the maximum amount of portal vein free for the anastomosis (figure 19). Again, the appropriate side on the inferior vena cava is selected,
excluded by a partially occluding vascular clamp, and an ellipse of vein wall is excised. A single-layer continuous anastomosis of arterial synthetic suture is accomplished as described for side-to-side anastomosis (figure 20). Although this is an easier anastomosis to accomplish, the same precautions apply here concerning the fragility of the vein walls. A er the anastomosis has been completed, the clamps are removed individually. If hemostasis is satisfactory, the procedure is concluded as described above.
CLOSURE  e incision is closed in layers (figures 21 and 22). Drainage
of the right upper quadrant is ordinarily not required unless there has been unusual trauma to the liver, pancreas, or biliary system. Retention suturing may be useful.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE In the immediate postoperative period it is impor-
tant to prevent hypoxia; therefore, routine administration of oxygen is rec­ommended for the  rst  to  hours. Central venous pressure combined with serial hematocrits should be monitored to assure maintenance of an adequate blood volume.
Because this type of shunt has the highest incidence of hepatic coma, postoperative e orts to decrease protein catabolism should be continuous. During the period of no oral intake, the patient should be given a minimum of  g of carbohydrate per day to prevent the undue breakdown of pro­tein. When oral intake is resumed, protein should be restricted initially to  g per day. If tolerated, gradual increments, usually  g every other day, may be instituted until a level of  to  g of protein is reached. Tolerance of this nitrogen load may be checked with fasting and -hour postprandial blood ammonia levels. If signs of hepatic insu ciency develop, protein in­take should be further restricted and intestinal antibiotics administered.
 e prothrombin activity must be monitored and supplemental vita­min K given as indicated. Continued administration of multiple vitamin preparations is also useful.
Ascites may be a distressing if not a dangerous problem postoperatively. Careful monitoring of both  uid and sodium intake may prevent or min­imize this complication. If ascites develops, it is best managed by severe sodium restriction combined with diuretics.
 e increased incidence of peptic ulceration following portacaval shunt should be remembered and appropriate (low-sodium) antacid therapy and proton pump inhibitors be given.

INDICATIONS (See Plate .)  e selective distal splenorenal shunt may
be indicated in the patient with cirrhosis of the liver without ascites but with evidence of a major hemorrhage from gastroesophageal varices.  e incidence of encephalopathy may be reduced in comparison with other types of portosplenic shunts.
PREOPERATIVE PREPARATION  ese patients require detailed evalua-
tion of both hepatic and renal function. Severe ascites contraindicates the procedure. A needle biopsy of the liver evaluates the basic hepatic disease as well as determines the possibility of acute in ammation caused by alco­holic hepatitis or chronic aggressive hepatitis and cirrhosis.  e operation is delayed inde nitely if acute alcoholic hepatitis is found. Except in emer­gency situations, the hepatic disease should be considered stable before the shunting procedure is planned.
Preoperative angiography is essential to establish the presence or absence of portal venous  ow to the liver, as well as to obtain a gross estimate of the volume of portal venous perfusion of the liver.  e preoperative angiogram also determines the patency and anatomic relationships of the mesenteric, splenic, and portal veins.
In addition, catheterization and visualization of the le renal vein are essential.  ese procedures permit a preoperative evaluation of the struc­tural relationships and reveal any abnormalities or unusual anatomic varia­tions that would make the proposed shunt impossible.
ANESTHESIA (See Plate .)
POSITION AND OPERATIVE PREPARATION (See Plate .)
INCISION AND EXPOSURE  e surgeon should be familiar with the anat-
omy of the portal system as well as the veins draining the stomach (figure 1). Maximum exposure is essential. A long midline incision extending from the xiphoid to well below the navel may be used (figure 2).  e incision may be made to the right of the navel, and the umbilical vein and round ligament to
S S (W)
the liver ligated and divided. A long bilateral curved incision extending from the midrectus on the right to well out into the le  ank may be preferred, with the le side of the patient elevated  to  degrees.
Gentle and limited exploration of the opened abdomen is indicated to avoid possible hemorrhage from delicate torn vascular adhesions.  e region of the needle puncture for a splenoportogram is inspected for evidence of continued bleeding. Some type of hemostatic material may be required to control the oozing site. A biopsy of the liver should be taken.
 e gastrocolic omentum is detached from the transverse colon, includ­ing the  exures, without ligating the gastroepiploic vessels.  is ensures good access to the pancreas and, in turn, the splenic and renal veins. Adhesions between the posterior wall of the stomach and the pancreas are divided.  e right gastroepiploic vein is divided in the infraduodenal region to interrupt the collateral venous drainage from the pancreas or intestine through the gastroepiploic system (figure 3).  e right gastroepiploic artery also may be included in the mass ligature of the veins below the pylorus. Neither the le gastroepiploic nor the short gastrosplenic veins should be interrupted, in order to maintain their pathway for drainage of the varices of the upper end of the stomach and lower esophagus.
 e peritoneum along the inferior margin of the body of the pancreas is divided with special attention to possible injury to the underlying superior mesenteric vein (figure 4). Gentle  nger and instrument dissection may be used to mobilize the margin and the posterior surface of the body of the pan­creas over a distance of  to  cm.  e vascular retroperitoneal tissue over the superior mesenteric vein is cleared away carefully with good visualization of the several branches, and the middle colic, coronary vein, and so forth, are visualized. Careful dissection is continued until the junction with the splenic vein has been established clearly. It may be easier to identify the medial portion of the splenic vein  rst and follow it into the inferior mesenteric vein.  e infe­rior mesenteric vein is not always a reliable landmark, since it may empty into the superior mesenteric vein instead of into the splenic vein.
