Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effects of different surgical methods for esophagectomy on gastroesophageal reflux after esophageal cancer surgery.

Methods

One hundred and twenty-six patients with esophageal cancer undergoing esophagectomy by different surgical methods were divided into video-assisted thoracic surgery(VATS) group (n=46), Ivor-Lewis group (n=38) and Sweet group (n=42). Tubular stomach anastomosis was conducted in VATS group and Ivor-Lewis group, full stomach sewn anastomosis was carried out in Sweet group, and esophageal stomach stapling side anastomosis was performed in three groups. Esophageal 24 h pH monitoring was done after operation. The reflux episode, number of reflux more than 5 min, longest reflux time and total time of pH less than 4.0 were compared among three groups.

Results

There were significant differences in the reflux episode, number of reflux more than 5 min, longest reflux time and total time of pH less than 4.0 among three groups(F=7.853, P<0.05; F=6.428, P<0.05; F=12.785, P<0.05; F=10.425, P<0.05). The degree of reflux: Sweet group> Ivor-Lewis group> VATS group.

Conclusions

Esophageal reflux occurs after digestive tract reconstruction of esophageal cancer surgery, and can be effectively relieved by tubular stomach anastomosis.

Key words: Surgical methods for esophagectomy, Gastroesophageal reflux, Esophageal pH monitoring
