title: [Surgical treatment of gastric cardia cancer with fundoplication--a report of 193 cases].
abstract: From December 1987 to 1994, a total of 193 patients with carcinoma of the gastric cardia were surgically treated by partial esophagectomy, partial gastrectony and end-to-side esophagogastric anastomosis with fundoplication. When compared to those patients during the same time period similarly treated but with end-to-end esophagogastrostomy, the incidences of anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stricture and esophageal reflux were all significantly decreased (P < 0.01). It is a novel surgical treatment of choice for cancer of the gastric cardia.
