Abstract

The authors reflect on the care of patients with portal hypertension. They describe further the extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO), extrahepatic portal hypertension (EHPH), and the portal biliopathy. They suggest that portosystemic shunting procedures are definitive procedures to relieve the biliary stasis and prevent further stone formation.
