Abstract

Background

Liver cirrhosis accounts for more than 90 % of portal hypertension cases, and the other cases are due to noncirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH). Variceal bleeding is the most life-threatening complication of portal hypertension and its primary treatment is medical according to the Baveno VII guidelines. This review discusses the evidence on surgical portal decompression for adult patients with NCPH secondary to chronic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO).

Methods

This is a scoping review of the evidence for the feasibility and effectiveness of surgical portal decompression in adults with NCPH secondary to EHPVO.

Results

This scoping review yielded 17 studies, including a total of 110 patients. Patient age(s) ranged from 19 to 68 years, with the majority undergoing nonphysiological (i.e., portosystemic shunts) shunts (N = 84, 76.4 %), mostly for variceal bleeding refractory to medical and endoscopic treatments. Physiological shunts (i.e., Rex shunts) had a potential advantage over nonphysiological shunts in postoperative rebleeding (5 % vs. 10 %) and hepatic encephalopathy rates (0 % vs. 13 %). Conversely, nonphysiological shunts had a potential advantage over physiological shunts in postoperative shunt thrombosis (8 % vs. 22 %).

Discussion

This scoping review reported that surgical portal decompression is feasible in adults with NCPH due to EHPVO with favorable outcomes and long-term patency.

期刊介绍： HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication. Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice. Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice. HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields. Abstracted and Indexed in: MEDLINE® EMBASE PubMed Science Citation Index Expanded Academic Search (EBSCO) HPB is owned by the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA) and is also the official Journal of the American Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (AHPBA), the Asian-Pacific Hepato Pancreatic Biliary Association (A-PHPBA) and the European-African Hepato-Pancreatic Biliary Association (E-AHPBA).
