Surgical treatment of 724 carcinomas of the gallbladder. Results of the French Surgical Association Survey
TL;DR: No progress has been made in the last 10 years in the treatment of gallbladder malignancies in France, Europe, and overseas, and no differences were observed among the different surgical procedures adopted.

Distal splenorenal shunt versus endoscopic sclerotherapy in the prevention of variceal rebleeding. First stage of a randomized, controlled trial.
Gian Paolo Spina,Roberto Santambrogio,Enrico Opocher,F. Cosentino,Alessandro Zambelli,Giovanni Rubis Passoni,G. Cucchiaro,Massimo Macrì,E. Morandi,Savino Bruno,Giuseppe Pezzuoli +10 more
TL;DR: Preliminary data from this trial seem to indicate that DSRS, in a subgroup of patients with good liver function and a correct portal-azygos disconnection, more effectively prevents variceal rebleeding than ES.

Selective distal splenorenal shunt versus side-to-side portacaval shunt. Clinical results of a prospective, controlled study.
Gian Paolo Spina,F. Galeotti,Enrico Opocher,Roberto Santambrogio,G. Cucchiaro,Carmelo Lopez,Giuseppe Pezzuoli +6 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that the selective shunt should be viewed as a first choice strategy in the treatment of portal hypertension and have a less negative effect on postoperative liver function than the portacaval shunt.

Emergency portosystemic shunt in patients with variceal bleeding
G.P. Spina,Roberto Santambrogio,Enrico Opocher,G. Gagliano,G. Cucchiaro,Andrea Pisani,M. Macri +6 more
TL;DR: Patients for whom emergency sclerotherapy or conservative treatment, or both, failed to arrest variceal bleeding, or who had early rebleeding and required emergency portosystemic shunts (EPSS) were studied, EPSS permanently controlled the varices in all but one patient.

Early hemodynamic changes following selective distal splenorenal shunt for portal hypertension: comparison of surgical techniques.
Gian Paolo Spina,Roberto Santambrogio,Enrico Opocher,F. Gattoni,Umberto Baldini,G. Cucchiaro,Carlo Uslenghi,Giuseppe Pezzuoli +7 more
TL;DR: Splenopancreatic disconnection seems to prevent the development of collaterals and the loss of portal perfusion after shunt surgery in patients with cirrhosis undergoing elective distal splenorenal shunt for variceal bleeding.
