Treatment of choice for extrahepatic poal thrombosis
Mesocaval shunt
Poocaval shunt
Mesorenal shunt
Splenorenal shunt
Since obstruction is in the poal vein, to bypass the obstruction the shunt should be preferably REX shunt (mesenteric-left poal shunt) Splenorenal shunt is also done in EHPVO but in 50% of patients of EPHVO, splenic vein is thrombosed, not available for splenorenal shunt
