Abstract:
Objective Endoscopy, 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring were used to objectively estimate the extent of gastroesophageal reflux and affecting factor after esophagectomy for cancer. Methods Endoscopy, 24 hour pH monitoring were performed in thirty-nine patients, including 21 undergoing esophagogastrostomy above the aortic arch (group A) and 18 below the aortic arch (group B). Results (1) DeMeeter score of gastroesophageal reflux in group A was significantly higher than that in group B in different postoperative period (P0.05). Conclusion Thoracic anastomosis in the lower thorax is more likely to be followed by gastroesophageal reflux and esophagitis. There is no significant change in extent of gastroesophageal reflux over time.
