Surgical transection and devascularization remain a primary treatment for oesophagogastric varices in Japan. Despite advances in endoscopic sclerotherapy, these operations are still favored for good-risk patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Surgical Interventions

Background:

  • Oesophagogastric varices pose a significant risk, particularly in patients with liver disease.
  • Surgical procedures have historically been the mainstay for managing these varices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current role of surgical interventions for oesophagogastric varices in Japan.
  • To compare surgical approaches with newer endoscopic therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of treatment trends over the past two decades in Japan.
  • Evaluation of the continued use of transection and devascularization procedures.

Main Results:

  • Transection and devascularization were the most popular surgical treatments for oesophagogastric varices in Japan for 20 years.

  • Endoscopic sclerotherapy has reduced the number of surgical cases in the last decade.
  • Surgical procedures remain the preferred choice in many Japanese institutions, especially for good-risk patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical transection and devascularization are still considered a treatment of choice for oesophagogastric varices in select patient populations.
    • The choice between surgical and endoscopic treatment depends on patient risk factors and institutional preference.
