SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR REFRACTORY ASCITES IN PATIENTS WITH CIRRHOSIS OF THE LIVER

Кафедра госпитальной хирургии ВолГМУ

Abstract

Results of this research show that in patients with cirrhosis of the liver less invasive operations for correction of ascites, adequate preoperative preparation including intravenous infusion of ascitic fluid, detoxication by electrochemical oxidation, differentiated approach to each patient and division of operations into stages have enabled us to transfer refractory ascites into transitional form in 11 (40.7 %) patients, and in 3 (11.1 %) cases to arrest the process completely.

Keywords

hepatorenal syndrome, refractory ascites.
