✦ Synopsis

During the last three decades the Sugiura procedure and other nonshunting operations have been widely performed as the operations of choice for bleeding esophageal varices in Japan. The Sugiura procedure (University of Tokyo method), a transthoracoabdominal esophageal transection, consists in paraesophageal devascularization, esophageal transection and reanastomosis, splenectomy, and pyloroplasty. The results have been satisfactory with low operative mortality and low rebleeding rate. The prognosis of the patients after this operation depended on the liver function at the time of operation but not on whether operation was done as an emergency, elective, or prophylactic measure. Although the Sugiura procedure has recently been performed in more selected cases with an advance in endoscopic injection sclerotherapy, this procedure remains the ultimate direct operation for portal hypertension in Japan.
