Abstract

Esophageal resection for the treatment of esophageal cancer is usually associated with high morbido-mortality risks, that can be reduced using laparoscopy. Laparoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy (LTE) has the potential to improve these results but, to-date, only a few limited series of cases have been reported. This report summarizes our experience in 24 cases. To assess the outcomes following LTE. Between 1998 and 2005, LTE was performed in 24 patients; 18 men and 6 women with an overall mean age of 63 years (range: 36-85). Indication for surgery was lower third esophageal cancer; 11 squamous cell carcinoma and 13 adenocarcinoma. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy were used in 18 patients (75%). A laparoscopic transhiatal approach was used to perform an esophagectomy with curative intent. A cervical esophagogastric anastomosis was created. No reversion to conventional open surgery was required. Mean anesthesia time was 293.8 min (range: 255-360). Major complications occurred in 7 patients (29.2%). Two patients (8.3%) had leakage from the cervical anastomosis. Surgical mortality was 8.3%. The median stay in Intensive Care Unit was 5 days (range: 1-29). Median hospital stay was 11.5 days (range: 7-54). At a mean follow-up...Continue Reading
