Abstract
A specially devised pressure-sensitive valve forms the basis for a new peritoneo-venous shunt operation which delivers ascitic fluid continuously into the venous system. It is effective in ascites attributed to different causes. The procedure is simple and brings a long lasting relief with recovery in strength and nutrition and improved kidney function. Hepatorenal syndrome in ascites is reversed.Keywords
