Abstract
Distal splenorenal shunt with splenopancreatic disconnection is a difficult surgical procedure; therefore its use is not widespread. We present a modified technique that facilitates the procedure and also ensures maintenance of portal flow by adding gastric devascularization and gastric disconnection. Our results compare favorably with the standard distal splenorenal shunt.Mesh:
