Abstract
Technical modification of the DSRS by using the end-to-end splenoadrenal anastomosis allows for effective selective decompression of portal hypertension in children, can be accomplished with no perioperative mortality, and has demonstrated longterm patency and minimal morbidity. Clinical encephalopathy was seen in only 1 patient although 3 additional patients required lactulose therapy.
