Abstract
The pertinent feature of the case histories of 8 patients in whom a Tanner operation
was performed have been presented. One patient does not contribute to an analysis
of the effectiveness of the operation in eliminating varical bleeding. From an analysis
of the remaining 7 patients, however, this operation must be considered to have failed
in its purpose. Massive varical bleeding either continued or recurred in all 7. From
this data, we are obliged to reach the conclusion that the Tanner operation, in our
hands at least, is useless in the management of varical bleeding in either extrahepatic
or intrahepatic portal hypertension, performed either as an emergency or as an interval
procedure.
