A prospective study was undertaken in 230 patients with carcinoma of the esophagus and of the cardia with infiltration of the distal oesophageal part from 1988 to 1993.According to postoperative UICC-classification 3% of patients had stage 0, 43% stage I/II and 54% stage III/IV. 162/230 were resected (resection rate 70.4%). 55% (89/162) of resected patients had thoracoabdominocervical, 38% (62) thoracoabdominal and 8% (11) transhiatal esophagectomy. Rate of anastomotic break-down was 1.9% (3/162). Clinical mortality decreased from 32% in 1988/89 to 11% in 1990/91 to at least 0% in 1992/93 (total 13%).Control of the postoperative phase is of decisive importance in decreasing mortality after esophageal resection, while surgical-technical problems seem to be solved. Esophagectomy is possible even as palliative measure in the presence of low mortality. |
