    Summary

    A modified Sugiura method for esophageal varices offers a less traumatic surgical option with lower mortality and high long-term survival. This technique is a practicable alternative to splenorenal anastomosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Hepatology

    Background:

    • Esophageal varices pose a significant risk of bleeding in patients with portal hypertension.
    • Traditional surgical interventions like splenorenal anastomosis can be complex and carry substantial risks.
    • The Sugiura procedure is an established treatment, but modifications may improve outcomes.

    Observation:

    • The modified Sugiura method was successfully implemented for the first time in Bulgaria.
    • This modified technique was applied to two patients with esophageal varices.
    • The procedures were performed for both planned and emergency surgical cases.

    Findings:

    • The modified Sugiura operation demonstrated reduced trauma compared to the original method.
    • A lower postoperative case fatality rate was observed.
    • High patient survival rates up to 7 years were achieved, with no instances of encephalopathy.
    • The modified technique proved more practicable than splenorenal anastomosis.

    Implications:

    • This modified Sugiura procedure presents a viable and less invasive surgical option for managing esophageal varices.
    • The technique's practicability suggests broader applicability in various clinical settings, including emergencies.
    • Successful implementation in Bulgaria indicates potential for wider adoption and improved patient outcomes in the region.
