ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To summarize the experience in surgical resection for esophageal and gastric cardiac cancers so as to put forward countermeasures to prevent the post-operative complications.METHODS:
From September 1952 to December 2005, 20,796 patients with esophageal and gastric cardiac cancers underwent surgical operation. The category and incidence of the complications in different decades were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS:
(1) 18,772 of the 20 796 patients with esophageal and gastric cardiac cancers underwent surgical resection. Operative complications occurred in 1741 patients (9.27%), death occurred in 433 of which (24.87%). (2) The complication rate was 39.77% in 1950s, and decreased to 4.10% in 2000s. The mortality rate of complication was 44.29% in 1950s, and decreased to 15.42% in 2000s. (3) The incidence and mortality rates of closely-surgery-related complications declined obviously over the period of study. The incidence and mortality rates of anastomotic leakage were 4.55% and 50.00% respectively in 1950s, and then decreased to 1.21% and 3.33% respectively in 2000s. The incidence and the mortality rates of empyema were 7.39% and 38.46% respectively in 1950s, and decreased to 0.36% and 5.56% respectively in 2000s. The incidence and the mortality rates of chylothorax was 0.16% and 0% recently. (4) The incidence of non-surgical-related complications declined slightly but the mortality rate was still very high over the period of study. The mortality rates of pulmonary and cardiovascular complication were 27.42% and 25.00% respectively recently.CONCLUSION:
(1) One of the advantages of surgical treatment for esophagus and gastric cardiac cancers is the obvious decline of the incidence and the mortality rates of complications. (2) In order to reduce the incidence of systemic complication, especially pulmonary complication, active and corresponding preoperative preparation should be improved along with the expansion of the scope of surgical indication. (3) The key for prevention of post-operative complications is consummate surgery techniques. Prevention and treatment of anastomotic leakage, gastric wall necrosis, and intrathoracic and intraabdominal bleeding are still the focal points.
