Abstract:
Objective To compare the lymph node dissection of left chest single incision and neck-right chest-abdomen incision in esophageal cancer surgery,and to explore the reasonable range of lymph node dissection in esophageal cancer surgery.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 72 patients with esophageal cancer radical surgery.According to the surgical approach,the patients were divided into left chest single-incision group (32 cases) and three-incision group (40 cases).The surgery time,number of lymph node resected,drainage tube time,length of hospital stay,lymph node dissection status and incidence of postoperative complications were analyzed.Results In left chest single-incision group and three-incision group,the operative time [(225.44 ± 11.98) min vs (265.42 + 13.15) min],lymph node dissection number[(8.031 ± 1.153) vs (11.821 ± 1.138)],length of stay [(13.212 ± 1.294) d vs(15.691 ± 1.404) d] and other aspects had statistically significant differences (t =24.201,25.302,14.010,all P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences between two groups in the chest tube indwelling time and the incidence of postoperative complications (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Both surgical radical resection of esophageal cancer have their own characteristics in terms of surgical difficulty,risks,efficacy and complications.In clinical,these must be carefully evaluated in patients with lesions and body affordability flexibility to choose the surgical approach in order to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
