title: [Application of preoperative marking with Chinese-ink or methylenum coeruleum in radical operation of the esophagus (cardia). A preliminary study].
abstract: We present a method of staining with Chinese-Ink or methylenum coeruleum under endoscope preoperatively and its clinical valve as a guide for radical resection of esophagus (cardia) cancer. There were 39 cases of esophageal cancer and 9 cases of gastric cardia cancer. 37 cases were stained with Chinese-ink and 11 cases with methylenum coeruleum. 268 of the 334 groups (427 of 592 lymph modes) were stained. In the 73 metastatic groups (107 lymph nodes) 65 groups (96 lymph nodes) were stained (88.1%, 96/107). In this series radical operation was achieved in 45 cases. The indication of staining, choice of marking materials and main points of manipulation practice were discussed.
