Esophagectomy is the main treatment for esophageal cancer. The 2 histologic subtypes of esophageal cancer are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma; these subtypes have different biologic features and treatment strategies. Although the prognosis of patients treated with surgery alone remains unsatisfactory, neoadjuvant therapy helps to improve outcome. A meta-analysis revealed that neoadju...
BACKGROUND Pathological examination after endoscopic submucosal dissection revealed that a 62-year-old male had esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with lamina propria mucosal invasion and lymphatic permeation. CASE PRESENTATION The patient underwent subtotal esophagectomy and reconstruction as an additional therapy. At 3 years and 4 months after esophagectomy, enlargement of abdominal para-ao...
BACKGROUND With promising results from several institutions, many centers began treating patients with esophageal cancer with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NC) followed by esophagectomy. This approach is demanding for the patient and has not been proved to be better than esophagectomy alone. OBJECTIVE To assess survival time and measures of quality of life associated with NC. DESIGN A retr...
Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is a rare anomaly, in which the right subclavian artery arises directly from the aortic arch instead of originating from the brachiocephalic artery. This anomaly should be taken into consideration during surgical procedures around esophagus, such as esophagectomy. Any unintentional injury of this artery during surgical procedures could be extremely life t...
Definitive chemoradiotherapy has been demonstrated to offer a chance of cure for esophageal cancer as often as a radical esophagectomy. However, it is generally accepted that an esophagectomy remains the mainstay of treatment for patients with resectable esophageal cancer, while chemoradiotherapy is the standard for patients with medically inoperable or surgically unresectable esophageal cancer...
I read with great interest the article by Raman et al 1 in a recent issue of CHEST (February 2015) that evaluated the pressure tolerance of esophagectomy anastomosis ex vivo and in vivo in a pig model in comparison with esophageal pressure during noninvasive positivepressure ventilation (NPPV). Th e authors showed that anastomosis can tolerate higher pressures than those transmitted to the esop...
BACKGROUND Endoscopic therapies for early neoplasia in Barrett's esophagus may be a viable alternative to esophagectomy. OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to compare endoscopic therapy and esophagectomy. DESIGN Retrospective review from a single institution. SETTING A medium-sized tertiary referral center. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTIONS All patients with Barrett's esophagus and dysplasia or intramu...
Thoracotomic esophagectomy followed by cervical and abdominal procedures has been conventionally performed as the best curable operative procedure for treating invasive thoracic esophageal carcinoma. Despite improvements in the survival rate, the procedure is associated with significant operative morbidity and mortality rates due to the extreme invasiveness of an extensive dissection of the lym...
BACKGROUND Conventional esophagectomy requires either a laparotomy or a thoracotomy. Currently, the minimally invasive esophagectomy is an evolving alternative to the open technique. OBJECTIVE Assess and evaluate the early outcomes of the authors' experiences with the minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. MATERIAL AND METHOD Outcome data were collected prospectively from 2...
Anastomotic leakage is considered as an independent risk factor for postoperative mortality after esophagectomy, and an insufficient blood flow in the reconstructed conduit may be a risk factor of anastomotic leakage. We investigated the clinical significance of blood flow visualization by indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence in the gastric conduit as a means of predicting the leakage of esopha...
