Extrahepatic portal hypertension--long-term results.

D Cohen, A Mansour

    Progress in Pediatric Surgery
    |January 1, 1977

    Summary

    Decompressive shunts are the most effective treatment for controlling gastrointestinal bleeding in children, offering better long-term results than direct operations. Non-operative management is suitable for most cases, with bleeding decreasing after age 15.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in children can be severe and recurrent.
    • Management strategies include direct surgical operations, shunts, and non-operative approaches.
    • Long-term outcomes of different treatments require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the effectiveness of various treatments for GI bleeding in children.
    • To compare the outcomes of direct operations, shunts, and non-operative management.
    • To identify optimal strategies for long-term control of bleeding varices.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 164 pediatric cases from Australian and U.S. centers.
    • Analysis of outcomes for direct operations (splenectomy, variceal ligation), shunts (meso-caval, splenorenal), and non-operative management.
    • Evaluation of mortality, rebleeding rates, and long-term complications.

    Main Results:

    • Direct operations, including splenectomy and variceal ligation, showed poor long-term efficacy with high rebleeding rates.
    • Decompressive shunts, particularly meso-caval, provided effective long-term control in about two-thirds of patients.
    • Non-operative management was successful for many, with bleeding episodes decreasing after age 15. No significant complications from hypersplenism were noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Direct surgical operations have limited value for treating pediatric GI bleeding.
    • Decompressive shunts are the most effective method for controlling persistent bleeding, requiring adequate shunt diameter.
    • Non-operative management is appropriate for most cases, and splenectomy should be avoided unless combined with a shunt.
