title: [Transthoracal and abdominothoracal radical operation for esophageal and cardiac carcinoma. Early results (author's transl)].
abstract: With reference to the frequency of esophageal and cardial carcinoma in the local patients of the Taj Institute for Cancer Research in Teheran, the early results following transthoracal-transdiaphragmatic (30 cases) and abdomino-right thoracal (30 cases) radical operations are compared and clinical and radiological criteria given which, from experience, indicate inoperability. In the first series postoperative mortality was 20%, in the second 10%. Non-fatal anastomosis dehiscences were five times more frequent in the first series than in the second. The average stay in hospital was about 50% shorter in the second abdomino-right thoracal operation are due, in the author's opinion, to better visibility, more accurate checking, technical facilitation of the anastomosis and less traumatization.
