Abstract:
Objective To investigate the feasibility of treatment mode of end-to-end anastomosis of esophagus(EAS) af ter partial resection for early-stage cervical esophageal carcinoma(ECEA).Methods 7 patients were substantially confirmed as squsmous cell carcinoma of cervical esophagus by endoscopy,the nearest distance of the lesion from the incisors was 17cm,and the furthest was 20 cm,the maximum extent was 2.5 cm,and the minimum was 1 cm.None of them with longitudinal muscularis invasion.Confirmed by PET/CT or chest enhancement CT examination preoperatively,intrathoracic and cervical lymphatic metastasis was excluded,cT1 -2 N0 M0.Incisal margin length was not less than 1 cm,the maximum was 5 cm and the minimum was 3 cm.Meanwhile,the cervical lymph node should be dissected,and the average number was 6.43 per case.After surgery,all the patients were fixed by plaster slab to release the tension of anastomosis.Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy was received.Results None of the patients had severe postoperative complications,and the average hospital stay was 14.5 days.All the patients are alive,the longest follow-up lasts for 3 years and 4 months,all of them can take normal food,without anastomotic stenosis.Conclusion Treatment mode of EAS after partial resection for ECEA significantly decrease the operative damage,apparently improve the patient's quality of life(QOL),so that the patients can better receive adjuvant treatment subsequently; it is a feasible and effective method for cervical esophageal carcinoma at the early stage.
