Abstract: One hundred and ninety one patients with esophageal carcinoma underwent surgical resection from January 2004 to January 2009. The gastroesophageal anastomosis was performed with auto suture instrument at superior aperture of the thorax in 107 cases (group A) and the instrument anastomosis was performed above or below the aorta arch in 84 cases ( group B ). The electron gastroscopy was performed and biopsy of mucosa at 3cm above the anastomosis was taken during the postoperative follow-up in all patients. Results showed that the incidence rate of reflux esophagitis in group A ( 5% ) was much lower than that in group B (51% ).
