متن کاملA method of gastric conduit elevation via the posterior mediastinal pathway in thoracoscopic subtotal esophagectomy
BACKGROUND Despite efforts to improve surgical techniques, serious complications still sometimes occur. Use of a physiological posterior mediastinal pathway has increased given advances such as automated anastomotic devices and a reduction in the incidence of anastomotic sufficiency. Until now the gastric conduit created has been protected by an echo probe cover and, sown to the ventral side of...
متن کاملPost-esophagectomy anastomotic leaks
OBJECTIVE: Esophageal anastomotic leaks are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively assess the role of the anastomotic positioning (thoracic or cervical) on the incindence of the anastomotic leak and its severity. METHODS: In the period 2002-07, we have performed extended esophagectomy with a curative-intent in 63 patients with esoph...
متن کاملAorto-conduit fistula developing four years after esophagectomy
A 71 year old lady was treated for a squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by a two phase Ivor-Lewis oesophagectomy with two field lymphadenectomy. She presented four years later with life threatening bleeding from a fistula between the thoracic aorta and the gastric conduit, which was treated successfully with a thoracic aortic stent.
متن کاملStent placement for delayed conduit obstruction at hiatus after esophagectomy
We report a case of a 62-year-old male who presented with shortness of breath after having undergone a modified McKeown esophagectomy 6 months after induction chemotherapy for cT3N1 adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus. A chest computed tomography demonstrated a dilated gastric conduit with evidence of hiatal obstruction and aspiration pneumonia (Fig. 1A). Patient was subsequently intubated f...
