Revisiting the Role of Surgery in Non-cirrhotic Portal Hypertension: An Ambispective Observational Study in a Tertiary Care Centre
Surgical management in NCPH is highly effective in preventing rebleeding from esophagogastric varices and yields favorable outcomes in terms of variceal resolution and reduced postoperative need for endoscopic interventions. These findings support the consideration of surgery as a primary management option in selected patients with NCPH and not just in those who have failed medical and endoscopic options.
