Abstract
Introduction: To evaluate early results of minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer in Abdominal Surgery Department II at National K Hospital.
Materials and methods: 130 patients with esophageal cancer underwent thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy – also was known as minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) – and gastric – tube reconstruction in Abdominal Surgery Department II at National K Hospital from 10/2017 to 7/2020. Descriptive study, patients were observed during hospitalization.
Results: Mean age 56,8 ± 6,77 (min 35 – max 72), lymph node metastasis was 17,8%, T1 was 35,6%, T2 was 48,9% and T3 was 15,5%, squamous cell carcinoma accounted for 97,7%. Mean operative time was 226 ± 6 minutes, mean hospital stay was 15,2 ± 4,6 days, anastomosis leakage accounted for 6,1%, anastomosis stenosis was 15,3%, vocal cord palsy was 4,6% and pneumonia happened in 13,8%.
Conclusions: Esophagectomy is a major surgery procedure that could be perform by thoraco-laparoscopy with good result.
