[Transdiaphragmatic esophagus resection--a procedure for the curative and palliative treatment of esophageal cancer].
From 12/80 to 1/85 133 patients with a carcinoma of the esophagus were admitted to the hospitals in Düsseldorf and Würzburg. 105 (7 total, 98 subtotal) of them were resected (79%). 14 were treated with a substernal bypass (average age: 60 years). 76% of all tumors were found in stage III and IV. The esophagus was replaced with stomach (98) and colon (7). For bypass the stomach (12) and jejunum (2) were used. The hospital mortality was 17.6% (all operations), 16.2% (resection) and 28.2% (bypass). The 2-year-survival-rate was only 15% (due to 76% of stage II and IV).
