PG - 92-3 AB - OBJECTIVE: To explore the operative procedure for patients with primary liver cancer associated with portal hyper tension (PLCPH). METHODS: We analyzed retrospectively the effect of operative procedure for 9 patients with PLCPH complicated by severe esophageal varicosity and hypersplenism. RESULTS: All patients underwent liver resection and pericardiac devascularization with splenectomy. Of the 9 patients, 2 died from liver cancer recurrence separately 13 and 16 months after operation, and 1 died from massive duodenal ulcer bleeding and multiple organs failure. Six patients survived 3, 4, 8, 10, 12 and 25 months after operation. CONCLUSIONS: The patients with PLCPH undergoing simultaneous operation could acquire curative effect as compared with those who underwent liver resection. This operation is beneficial to the patients with poor liver function.
