Objective:To investigate the application value of intrathoracic Kamikawa anas-tomosis after laparoscopic proximal stomach and lower esophagus resection through the abdominal-left diaphragmatic approach for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.Methods:The retros-pective and descriptive method was conducted. The clinical data of 3 patients with adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction who were admitted to Changzhi People ′s Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from April to June 2022 were collected. All patients were male, aged 69 years, 60 years and 66 years, respectively. Patients underwent total laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy and lower esophageal resection with intrathoracic Kamikawa anastomosis through the abdominal-left diaph-ragmatic approach.Results:(1) Operative and postoperative situations. All the 3 patients success-fully underwent total laparoscopic proximal stomach and lower esophagus resection with intra-thoracic Kamikawa anastomosis through the abdominal-left diaphragmatic approach. The operation time was 5.3 hours, 5.3 hours and 4.8 hours, respectively. The digestive tract reconstruction time was 68 minutes, 62 minutes and 55 minutes, respectively. The volume of intraoperative blood loss was 80 mL, 30 mL and 100 mL, respectively. The postoperative first flatus time of 3 patients was on the third day after operation, and the first defecation time was on the postoperative fourth, sixth and third day. All the 3 patients underwent upper gastrointestinal imaging on the postoperative third and seventh day, and no anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis or contrast agent reflux occurred. The indwelling time of abdominal drainage tube was 6 days, 7 days and 6 days, respectively. The indwel-ling time of thoracic drainage tube was 3 days, 5 days and 4 days, respectively. The duration of post-operative hospital stay was 14 days, 14 days, and 16 days, respectively. (2) Postoperative complica-tions and pathological examination. Of the 3 patients, 1 patient had postoperative pleural effusion of Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ, and 1 patient had bilateral pleural effusion of Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ. The postoperative pathological examination of 3 patients showed high-moderately differentiated adeno-carcinoma, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, respectively. The tumor maximum diameter of 3 patients was 3.0 cm, 3.5 cm and 3.5 cm, respec-tively. The ratio of the number of lymph node metastasis to the number of lymph node dissection was 0/43, 1/34 and 6/44, respectively. Postoperative pathological staging showed stage T3N0M0, T3N1M0, T3N2M0, respectively. (3) Follow-up. There was no reflux of contrast agent or anastomotic stenosis in upper gastrointestinal imaging of the 3 positions at 3 and 12 months after operation. No reflux esophagitis of LA-B grade or above was found by electronic gastroscopy at 3 and 12 months after operation. Nutritional indicators and quality of life were good in 3 patients. No tumor recur-rence or metastasis was found in chest and abdominal computed tonography at 12 months after operation, and anti-reflux structure was found after reconstruction of digestive tract in thoracic cavity.Conclusion:Intrathoracic Kamikawa anastomosis after laparoscopic proximal stomach and lower esophagus resection through the abdominal-left diaphragmatic approach for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction is safe and feasible, with excellent anti-reflux effect.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors and regularity of inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopatho-logical data of 185 Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients in two medical centers (113 cases in Changzhi People's Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College and 72 cases in Heji Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College) from January 2017 to January 2022 were collected. There were 143 males and 42 females, aged (64±8)years. Patients underwent radical resection of AEG combined with inferior mediastinal lymph node dissection. Observation indicators: (1) clinicopathological charac-teristics of Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients; (2) analysis of influencing factors for inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG; (3) regularity of inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were represented as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparsion between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the rank sum test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the Logistic regression model. Results:(1) Clinicopathological characteristics of Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients. Pathologic staging as stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ, degree of tumor invasion as stage T1, T2, T3 and T4, length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm, >1 cm and ≤2 cm, >2 cm and ≤3 cm, >3 cm and ≤4 cm were found in 30, 61, 75, 7, 3, 41, 79, 50, 101, 46, 18, 8 cases of the Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients without inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis, respectively, versus 0, 2, 10, 0, 0, 0, 5, 7, 4, 3, 2, 3 cases of the Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients with inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis, showing a significant differences between them ( Z=?2.21, ?2.49, ?2.22, P<0.05). (2) Analysis of influencing factors for inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG. Results of univariate analysis showed that pathological staging, depth of tumor invasion and length of esophageal invasion were related factors affecting inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG ( odds ratio=2.48, 3.26, 2.03, 95% confidence intervals as 1.02?6.01, 1.21?8.80, 1.18?3.51, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that depth of tumor invasion and length of esophageal invasion were independent influening factors affecting inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG ( odds ratio=4.01, 2.26, 95% confidence interval as 1.35?11.96, 1.26?4.06, P<0.05). The inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis probability of AEG patients with the length of esophageal invasion >3 cm and ≤4 cm was 9.47 times that of AEG patients with the length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm. (3) Regularity of inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG. The number of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes including No.110, No.111 and No.112 dissected in 185 patients of Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG were 127, 50 and 27. The number of lymph nodes dissected and the number of metastatic lymph nodes in No.110 and No.111 of patients with length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm, >1 cm and ≤2 cm, >2 cm and ≤3 cm, >3 cm and ≤4 cm were 69, 4, 42, 4, 4, 1, 12, 4 and 23, 0, 17, 0, 7, 2, 3, 0, respectively. There were significant differences in metastatic lymph nodes in No.110 and No.111 of patients with length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm, >1 cm and ≤2 cm, >2 cm and ≤3 cm, >3 cm and ≤4 cm ( χ2=8.45, 7.30, P<0.05). Of the 185 patients of Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG, the ratio of cases with inferior mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis was 6.49%(12/185). The ratio of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis in cases with length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm, >1 cm and ≤2 cm, >2 cm and ≤3 cm, >3 cm and ≤4 cm were 3.81%(4/105), 6.12%(3/49), 10.00%(2/20), 27.27%(3/11), respectively. The ratio of No.110 lymph nodes metastasis in cases with length of esophageal invasion ≤1 cm, >1 cm and ≤2 cm, >2 cm and ≤3 cm, >3 cm and ≤4 cm were 2.86%(3/105), 6.12%(3/49), 5.00%(1/20), 27.27%(3/11), respectively, showing a significant difference among them ( χ2=8.26, P<0.05). Conclusions:Depth of tumor invasion and length of esophageal invasion are independent influening factors affecting inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis in Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG. The rate of inferior mediastinal lymph node metastasis increases with the increase of the length of esophageal invasion.

In recent years, the overall incidence of gastric cancer has been decreasing worldwide, while the incidence of the esophagogastric junction tumor is increasing year by year. With the progress of the diagnostic technology of upper gastrointestinal tumors and the gradual popularization of early cancer screening, the detection rate of early esophagogastric junction tumor keeps increasing. Therefore, in recent years, the clinical application of gastric function preserving surgery is gradually increasing. As an important part of the surgical treatment strategy of esophagogastric junction tumors, proximal gastrectomy has attracted more and more attention with the confirmation of oncological safety. Compared with total gastrectomy, patients after proximal gastrectomy have better nutritional status and quality of life. However, the high incidence of reflux esophagitis after traditional proximal gastrectomy has seriously affected the quality of life of patients, and also hindered the application of proximal gastrectomy in esophagogastric junction tumors. How to reduce the occurrence of reflux esophagitis after proximal gastrectomy by optimizing the method of digestive tract reconstruction has been a big challenge in clinical practice. This article reviews the current methods of anti-reflux surgery for proximal gastrectomy for esophagogastric junction tumors, aiming to provide a reference for choosing a reasonable anti-reflux surgery.

Objective: To study the efficacy of relieving the postoperation pain by using mesh to stuture and fixate tissue during transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty (TAPP) in inguinal hernia patients. Metholds: A retrospective analysis of 156 patients with inguinal hernia who underwent TAPP in Nanhai Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University from January 2016 to January 2017 was conducted, they were males, the average age was 50.84 years and the age range was from 33 to 62 years. Patients were divided into sacral nail group (n=120) and absorbable line group (n=36) according to the different methods of fixation of the iliac crest. Among them, the patients in the sacral nail group were fixed with iliac screws, and the patients in the absorbable line group were sutured with absorbable sutures. Pain visual analog scale (VAS) was used to compare the extent of postoperative pain in both groups. After the operation, through the outpatient review and telephone follow-up for 1 year, observed the recurrence of inguinal hernia in both groups. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean±SD), t-test was used for comparison between groups; the Chi-square test was used to compare the count data between the two groups. Results: Among them, 19 patients with moderate pain after operation in the nail group had an incidence of 15.8%. Two patients with moderate pain in the absorbable line group had an incidence of 5.6%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ²=2.511, P=0.013). The pain VAS of the patients in the sacral nail group was (3.08±1.36), and the absorbable line group was (2.50±0.91), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=2.973, P=0.001). All patients had no recurrence after outpatient review and telephone follow-up for 1 year. Conclusion In TAPP, the application of absorbable suture fixed patch can effectively reduce postoperative pain.
