Abstract

Aim. To evaluate the results of distal splenorenal shunts (DSRS) in elderly patients with liver cirrhosis. Material and Methods. 285 patients of three age groups with liver cirrhosis (LC) and portal hypertension were enrolled: up to 30 years, 31–49 years and over 50 years. Selective portosystemic shunting was performed in all cases. Results. The study showed that there was no significantly greater risk of specific postoperative complications in patients
over 50 years if indications for bypass surgery were observed. The incidence of moderate and severe liver failure was 7.6% and 13.6% in patients aged up to 50 years and over 50 years respectively. Latent and clinical forms of hepatic encephalopathy were found in 57.1% and 66.7% of cases respectively. Incidence of ascites augmentation differed slightly – 14.1% versus 13.6%. Bleeding from esophageal varices in early postoperative period after DSRS developed in 5.7% of patients aged up to 50 years and in 4.5% of patients aged over 50 years. Conclusion. At present time DSRS is dominant surgery and performed in more than 50% of cases. In elderly patients or due to low compensatory reserve of hepatocytes this type of bypass surgery remains priority and sometimes unique way for portal system decompression
