Core Tip	In a recent study from our group assessing systemic and portal hemodynamic changes in schistosomal patients undergoing esophagogastric devascularization and splenectomy, we showed that the splenic artery ligature alone promotes correction of the systemic hyper-dynamic state and significantly decreases portal pressure. The objective of the present study was to propose a less invasive surgical treatment for portal hypertension in schistosomiasis, which consists of splenic artery ligature, followed by endoscopic variceal treatment. This study showed that this new technique is a promising method in the treatment of presinusoidal portal hypertension due to its less invasive characteristic.
