Two original organ-saving surgical technologies are suggested for surgical prophylaxis of bleedings from esophageal and gastric varicose veins dilatation. The azygoportal disconnection surgery has been performed at 42 patients. The rate of bleeding recurrences was 4.8%. This surgical procedure may be regarded as the stage of complex treatment of patients with liver cirrhosis and as the final treatment at the patients with extrahepatic portal hypertension.
