胸段食管癌外科治疗326例报告

目的：总结326例胸段食管癌外科治疗经验。方法：回顾性分析1990年1月-2001年1月间手术治疗326例胸段食管癌的临床资料。肿瘤位于食管胸上段32例、胸中段213例、胸下段81例。左颈、右胸、腹正中三切口食管胃左颈吻合79例，三切口食管结肠吻合术5例，左颈、左胸二切口食管胃左颈吻合156例，左开胸食管胃弓上吻合53例，左开胸食管胃弓下吻合33例。结果：手术病死率为1.23％（4/326），术后5年生存率为35.3％。结论：胸段食管癌应提倡食管次全切除加彻底淋巴结清扫，以提高术后生存率及病人的生活质量。

Surgical treatment of thoracic esophageal carcinoma: report of 326 cases.

OBJECTIVE: To review our experience in surgical treatment of 326 cases of thoracic esophageal carcinoma. METHODS: The clinical data of 326 patients with thoracic esophageal carcinoma from January 1990 to January 2001 were analyzed retrospectively. Among the 326 patients, the lesions of 32 patients were identified in the upper thoracic segment of the esophagus, and were found in the middle segment in 213 cases with the left 81 cases having lesions in the lower segment. Left cervical esophagogastrostomy was performed through triple incision (left cervical, right thoracic and abdominal) in 79 cases. Esophagocolostomy through triple incision was performed in 5 cases. Another 156 patients received left cervical esophagogastrostomy through two incisions (left cervical and left thoracic). Supra-aorticarch esophagogastrostomy through left posterola- teral thoracotomy was performed in 53 cases, and sub-arch esophagogastrostomy through left posterolateral thoracotomy in 33 cases. RESULTS: The post-operative mortality was 1.23% (4/326), with a five-year survival rate of 35.3%. CONCLUSION: Subtotal esophagectomy combined with thorough lymph node dissection can be the first choice for thoracic esophageal carcinoma to improve the postoperative survival rate and the quality-of life-of the patients.
