23 children, aged 3-17 years, have undergone the Sugiura operation since 1989. 18 children had extrahepatic portal hypertension, 3 - the inborn liver fibrosis, 2 - liver cirrhosis. The procedure has been complemented by endoscopic sclerotherapy since 2001. Of 13 children, who had just Sugiura operation, bleeding relapsed in 4 cases. Of 10 patients, who had the combined procedure, the recurrent bleeding was registered in 2 cases. The Sugiura operation in combination with endoscopic varices sclerotherapy was suggested as a method of choice in children with contraindications to portosystemic bypass procedure.
