Abstract:
Objective:Esophageal cancer has high morbidity in China, and surgery is the main treatment for this disease. Postop-erative nutrition is also important for the patients. In this article, we discuss the possibility of retrosternal route gastrostomy feeding (RGF). Methods: The data of 127 esophageal cancer patients between 2011 and 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. RGF was per-formed in all the patients, and post-operation complications were studied. Results: Bowel obstruction, catheter displacement, and wound infection did not occur. Conclusion:RGF is a safe and effective nutrition method for patients who underwent retrosternal recon-struction.
