Abstract

Factors influencing the survival after resection of the esophagus with a one-step intrathoracic esophagogastroplasty were studied in 94 patients. In addition to the standard set of clinical data, under study were the parameters of central hemodynamics and external respiration functions. Risk factors of lethality were found. It was shown that the patient's age did not substantially influence the postoperative survival. Among the absolute contraindications to the one-step operation on the esophagus is the decompensation of cardiorespiratory functions and cachexia. The investigation of factors of risk of postoperative complications considered in groups allowed to pass to purposeful prophylactics of most probable of them.
