Objective To compare the clinical therapeutic effect of radical resection of esophageal carcinoma under combination of thoracoscopy and laparoscopy (RECTL) with traditional radical resection of esophageal carcinoma(TREC).Methods 80 patients receiving RECTL and 80 patients receiving TREC were chosen in our hospital.The general conditions during operation,pathologic data,postoperative complications and recurrence or metastasis rates were compared between two groups.Results Compared with TREC group,RECTL group had longer operation time 、less bleeding、less postoperative chest drainage liquid amount and less postoperative morphine administration (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).The postoperative hospital stays were not statistically different between the two groups(P ＞0.05).The length of resected esophagus specimen and tumor near end cutting edge length in RECTL group are longer than that in TREC group,but with the former no statistically different(P ＞0.05) and the latter statistically different(P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences about the number of dissected lymph nodes and the incidence of complications and local recurrence by cut plant between the two groups(P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of postoperative reflux gastritis was 7.1％ in RECTL group and 45 ％ in TREC group,with significantly statistical difference(P ＜0.01).The two groups had similar recurrence or metastasis rate(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Radical resection of esophageal carcinoma under combination of thoracoscopy and laparoscopy,with small wound and early recovery,has the same effect as traditional operational resection of esophageal carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate endoscopic surgical treatment of synchronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinonm at the esophagogastric junction.Methods The clinical data of 17 patients with synchronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma associated with adenocarcinoma of esophagogatric junction between Jan 2010 and Jan 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among these 17 patients,9 patients underwent thoracoscopy and laparoscopy with partial resection of esophagus and proximal stomach,and gastroesophageal and neck anastomosis.3 patients underwent thoracoscopy and laparoscopy with partial resection of esophagus and proximal stomach,gastroesophageal intrathoracic anastomosis.Laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy combined with radiotherapy for esophageal cancer was performed in 5 cases.There was not perioperative death or serious complications.The cumulative survival rates of 1,3 and 5 years after surgery were 100％,42％ and 24％,respectively.Conclusion Thoracolaparscopic surgery combined with local radiation therapy is a safe and effective treatment for patients with synchronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma at esophagogastric junction.
