T Hirashima et al. Surg Gynecol Obstet. 1980 Jul.

Abstract

Transabdominal esophageal mucosal transection with devascularization, a direct operation for varices, has been done upon 63 patients with marked esophageal varices that had bled or had a potential bleeding hazard. As of May 1978, 55 of the 63 patients are alive, and the over-all results appear to be satisfactory.
