PORTAL HYPERTENSION: CAUSES, CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS, AND SURGICAL TREATMENT METHODS
Abstract
Portal hypertension is a severe pathological condition frequently encountered in diseases of the liver and the portal venous system, characterized by an increase in pressure within the portal vein (portal venous) system. This article describes the anatomical structure of the portal vein, the types of portal hypertension, the main etiological factors, clinical signs, as well as conservative and surgical treatment methods. A clinical analysis was conducted on 462 patients diagnosed and treated for portal hypertension in the surgical department of R.Sh.T.Yo.I.T.M.S.F. during 2021–2025. The results of the study demonstrated that liver cirrhosis is the primary cause of portal hypertension and that splenorenal anastomosis is one of the most effective surgical treatment methods.
