Core Tip	The mortality and re-bleeding rate are still extremely high among patients with portal hypertension after splenectomy plus pericardial devascularisation. This study aimed to analyse the postoperative survival, identify risk factors, construct nomograms, and explore the clinical effect of splenectomy plus simplified pericardial devascularisation (SSPD). Five hundred and fifty-seven (53.30%) patients were successfully followed, and the results suggested that the 5- and 10-year overall survival, disease-specific survival and bleeding-free survival rates were not significantly different between patients who underwent SSPD and patients who underwent splenectomy plus traditional pericardial devascularisation. Age, operative time, alanine transaminase level and albumin-bilirubin score were independent prognos­tic factors influencing overall survival. Male sex, age, intraoperative blood loss and time to first flatus were independent prognostic factors influencing bleeding-free survival. Comprehensive Complication Index and age were independent prognostic factors influencing disease-specific survival.
