Clinical study on postoperative anti-reflux function of vertical esophagogastic valve-plasty anastomosis for cardiac cancer / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To appraise the postoperative anti-reflux function of vertical esophagogastic valve-plasty anastomosis for cardiac cancer.Methods Forty patients with cardiac cancer were randomly divided into study group and surgery control group,with 20 patients in each group.The study group underwent vertical esopagogastric valve-plasty anastomosis,while the surgery control group underwent conventional esophagogastrostomy.Ten healthy volunteers were recruited as normal control group.A 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring and endoscopy check-up was carried out in all experimental subjects at 90 days postoperatively.Results All of the pH monitoring indexes in study and surgery control groups were higher than those in normal control group(P
