Injury to the thoracic duct resulting in chylothorax is an uncommon but well-documented complication of esophagectomy. In two cases, which were associated with signs of life-threatening upper airway obstruction, an initial diagnosis of asthma was made. It appears that this complication of esophagectomy has not been reported previously.
OBJECTIVE Delayed gastric emptying after esophageal operations occurs in up to 50% of patients. A good quality of life, in long-term survivors after esophagectomy, may depend on both dietary adaptation and the improvement of intrathoracic gastric motility itself. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of pyloric balloon dilatation on the sustained delay of gastric emptying af...
INTRODUCTION The conventional approach during thoracoscopic esophagectomy was performed in the left lateral decubitus position (LLDP). Recently, thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position (PP) has attracted the attention of surgeons. AIM To report institutional experience with thoracoscopic esophagectomy in PP and compare it with the conventional LLDP approach. MATERIAL AND METHODS W...
BACKGROUND The purpose of this analysis was to revise the model for perioperative risk for esophagectomy for cancer utilizing The Society of Thoracic Surgeons General Thoracic Surgery Database to provide enhanced risk stratification and quality improvement measures for contributing centers. METHODS The Society of Thoracic Surgeons General Thoracic Surgery Database was queried for all patients...
BACKGROUND Traditional esophagectomy may be associated with mortality, considerable morbidity, and lengthy recovery. It is often performed in cancer patients who are typically older, have associated comorbidities, and are often malnourished, all factors that increase surgical risk. Minimally invasive esophagectomy has the potential advantages of being a less traumatic procedure with an easier p...
Esophagectomy is a complex operation with significant morbidity and mortality. Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) was described in the 1990s in an effort to reduce operative morbidity. Since then many institutions have adopted and described their series with this technique. This paper reviews the literature on the variety of MIE techniques, clinical and quality of life outcomes with open ve...
Esophageal carcinoma is the sixth leading cause of cancer death in the world [1]. The optimal treatment for resectable esophageal cancer is curative surgery, including transhiatal [2] or transthoracic [3] esophagectomy, accompanied by reconstruction of the digestive conduit. Cases of diaphragmatic herniation (DH) after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer have been previously reported. DH is rec...
BACKGROUND This review depicts surgical treatment strategies in the management of esophageal cancer under the focus of evidence-based medicine. The main emphasis lies on technical details, i.e. surgical approach, lymphadenectomy, and current techniques of anastomosis. METHODS The current literature on operative details in esophageal cancer treatment was reviewed. Surgical approaches and diffe...
AIM To justify esophagectomy for elderly patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 1,002 patients with thoracic esophageal cancer who underwent esophagectomy were divided into three groups: I (≤ 74 years old, n=898); II (75-79 years, n=81); and III (≥ 80 years, n=23). Historical changes were compared between the first surgical period (1964-1989) and the second period (1990-2011). RESULTS Th...
Abstract Background Conventional diagnosis of vocal cord paresis (VCP) after esophagectomy relies on flexible laryngoscopy (FL), which is invasive. As most patients had normal post-operative VC function, a non-invasive alternative such as laryngeal ultrasonography (LUSG) may avoid unnecessary FL. LUSG was well-known to be accurate for post-thyroidectomy evaluation, but its accuracy following un...
