The management of portal hypertension complicated by iterative gastro-intestinal bleeding remains challenging, especially in a low-income environment. Interventional radiology and endoscopic treatments are not always accessible, and a definitive surgical option may prove to be lifesaving. We report a new technique of surgical portosystemic shunt that can be performed in all contexts. We describe the surgical technique of a H-shaped splenorenal shunt using autologous rolled up peritoneum as a vascular graft. |
