Abstract
Hassab's operation for selected case of oesophageal varices is believe d by many workers to be a very satisfactory procedure. Various complic ations following this procedure have been reported, but none has repor ted a case of Cup-and-Spill gastric deformity following this operation . We present such a complication following this procedure on a senior medical colleague with oesophageal varices resulting from a subclinica l or previously undiagnosed hepatitis resulting in liver fibrosis. He responded fairly well to conservative treatment and small feed at freq uent interval.
