[Thoracic esophageal neoplasm-therapeutical problems and post-surgery evolution].
The authors are presenting a few considerations on Thoracic Esophageal Neoplasm, as resulted from an 18-cases study performed on patients that were operated between 1994-1999. The esophageal resection rate was of 50%, as follows: 7 Esophageal Resections and 2 Superior Polar Esogastric Resections. The digestive transit was reestablished by means of intrathoracic transposition of the stomach (6 cases) or of the right ileo-colon (2 cases). In one of the cases an Esogastric Anastomosis was performed at the neck level (cervical-right). Immediate post-op mortality after Esophageal Resection (1 case) was due to an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The post-op complications were as follow: one anastomotic fistula associated with a purulent pleurisy, 4 non-infectious pulmonary complications and 2 cardiac complications (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia). The Discussions and Conclusions of the present work are presenting samples of surgical techniques, post-op complications and prognosis.
