Abstract:
Purpose:Evaluate the operation methods and prognosis following Ivor Lewis subtotal esophagectomy with two-field lymphadenectomy for carcinoma of the middle and lower third of the oesophagus. Methods:From March 1997 to March 2001, A total of 356 consecutive patients underwent Ivor Lewis esophagogastrectomy with two-field radical lymphadenectomy for carcinoma of the middle and lower third of the oesophagus ,The patients received cupula of pleura or cervical esophagogastroanastomosis with mechanical methods through two incisions (right posterolateral thoracotomy and upper abdominal).Results:The post-operative mortality was 0. anastomotic leakages occurred in 3 patients(0.8%). Gastric leaks for stress gastric ulcer occurred in 2 patients (0.6%). Chylothorax occurred in 2 patients(0.6%). Hoarseness occurred in 5 patients(1.4%),4 cases recuperated after 3 months. Barium swallowed postsurgery through anastomosis and pylorus went through smoothly.Full follow-up was 97.2%. Median survival for operative survivors was 2.6 years (range,61 days to 5 years). The overall 3-year survival rate was 74.5% .The overall 5-year survival rate was 55.49%,it was 94.2% for those in stage Ⅰ,81.5% for those in stage Ⅱa,78.3% for patients in stage Ⅱb,36% for those in stage Ⅲ and 0% for patients in stage Ⅳ. Conclusions:Ivor Lewis esophagogastrectomy with two-field radical lymphadenectomy for carcinoma of the middle and lower third of the oesophagus is a safe operation. There is the low post-operative morbidity. Long-term survival have been improved.
