Abstract
In cirrhotic patients, surgically created portosystemic shunts involving the hepatic hilum have a negative impact on liver transplantation. This operation should be avoided in potential liver transplant candidates; surgical shunts that do not compromise the hepatic hilum or transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts are preferred.
