Many investigators have documented a high risk of morbidity and mortality accompanying abdominal operations in cirrhotic patients. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a patient who successfully underwent both gastric surgery and a simultaneous selective shunt. If postoperative management is carried out carefully, selective shunt operations for esophagogastric varices together with a partial gastrectomy can be effective against early lower gastric cancer and allow the avoidance of variceal bleeding and the discomfort of endoscopic therapy.}, pages = {125--129}, title = {Successful Inokuchi Shunt Operation for Early Gastric Cancer and Concomitant Esophagogastric Varices: A Case Report}, volume = {47}, year = {1999} }
