Both were suffering from a condition that causes obstruction of part of the portal vein, with blood not being able to flow from the intestine to the liver, which causes portal hypertension [editor\u2019s note: in one case the problem was caused by portal cavernoma, in the second case by thrombosis of the portal vein]. \u00a0The two children arrived at ISMETT (Istituto Mediterraneo per i Trapianti e Terapie ad alta specializzazione) with their parents on June 12 to undergo <strong>meso-Rex bypass surgery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is a highly particular surgical technique, and the only real physiological treatment for this type of condition. The technique, performed in very few centers, was invented in 1992 by Prof. Jean de Ville de Goyet, Director of the Pediatric Abdominal Surgery and Liver Transplantation Unit at ISMETT.\u00a0 Both children underwent the delicate surgical operation last week and are already in good condition. \u201cTheir clinical conditions are good,\u201d explained Prof. Jean de Ville de Goyet.\u00a0 \u201cSophie will leave the hospital today, and Martin will be discharged this week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yesterday, t<\/strong><strong>he Danish Consul in Palermo, Ms. Maria Carolina Castellucci, paid a visit to the two children.<\/strong> The Consul spoke to the families, brought some presents for the children, and met some of ISMETT\u2019s physicians.\u00a0 She visited the hospital and the new Pediatric Abdominal Unit, which will be opened by the end of the summer. \u201cIt was a great joy to see that my compatriots are well.
