  • Purpose: Limited data exist regarding outcome and morbidity associated with portosystemic shunts in the pediatric transplant population. Our study assesses the outcomes of pediatric patients who underwent a portosystemic shunt procedure, both with and without liver transplantation (LT). Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the medical records of pediatric patients aged 0-19 years who underwent shunt placement between 2003 and 2017 at a tertiary care center. The analysis included cases of shunt placement with or without LT. Results: A total of 13 pediatric patients were included in the study with median age of 8.8 years. Among the cases, 11 out of 13 (84.6%) underwent splenorenal shunt, 1 (7.7%) underwent a mesocaval shunt, and another 1 (7.7%) underwent a Modified Rex (mesoportal) shunt. Additionally, 5 out of 13 (38.5%) patients had LT, with 4 out of 5 (80.0%) receiving the transplant before shunt placement, and 1 out of 5 (20.0%) receiving it after shunt placement. Gastrointestinal bleeding resulting from portal hypertension was the indication in all cases. A total of 10 complications were reported in 5 patients; the most common complication was anemia in 3 (23.1%) patients. At the most recent follow-up visit, the shunts were functional without encephalopathy, and no deaths were reported. Conclusion: Shunt placement plays a crucial role in the management of patients with portal hypertension. Our study demonstrates favorable long-term outcomes in pediatric patients who underwent shunt placement. Long term shunt outcomes were similar and unremarkable in patients with LT and without LT.

  • 본 조사 결과는 32개 병원의 39명의 회원에 의해 수술받은 환자 348명의 기록과 회원 37명의 설문 응답자를 분석한 것으로 많은 수의 기록지가 내용이 불충분하거나 일치되지 않은 기술로 인해 자료로서의 한계가 있었다. 특히 췌담관합류 이상에 대한 기록 중 약 절반이 미상으로 기록된 것에서 알 수 있드시 자료가 매우 미흡하였고, 담관낭종의 유형을 정하는 것 예후 인자 및 산 전 진단된 담관낭종의 수술 적기등에 대하여도 회원마다 견해 차이가 있으나 심도있는 토론이 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 이 결과를 외국의 통계 분석과 비교하는 것 보다는 회원들의 향 후 진료와 연구에 참고가 될 수 있다는 것에 의미를 두고자 하며, 회원들이 동일한 등록지를 작성하는 전향적 연구로 우리나라 담관낭종에 대한 분류, 췌담관 합류이상, 예후 인자들에 대한 재 논의의 출발점이 되기를 기대한다.
