ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze effects comparison of thoracoscopy combined with laparoscopy surgery and the conventional thoracotomy in treatment of esophageal cancer.Methods 88 patients with esophageal carcinoma in the past two years in our department were randomly divided into the two groups according to the digital form,each group had 44 cases.The control group was given radical operation as the treatment for esophageal carcinoma,while the observation group used thoracoscope combined with laparoscope radical operation for treatment.The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared.Results The operation time of the observation group was slightly higher than that of the control group (t =1.372,P ＞ 0.05),the number of lymph node dissection in the observation group was more than that of the control group (t =1.573,P ＞ 0.05).The intraoperative blood loss [(85.6 ± 30.7) mL],postoperative extubation time [(4.1 ± 1.3) d],chest drainage volume [(550.0 ± 30.5) mL] and postoperative hospital stay [(10.8 ± 2.2)d] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(220.4 ± 58.7)mL,(7.5 ±1.8)d,(1 130.0 ±50.8)mL,(17.1 ±3.8)d,(t =18.847,6.486,40.649,8.938,all P ＜0.05)].The incidence of postoperative complications in observation group(6.82％)was significantly lower than that of control group (27.27％) (x2 =5.143,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Thoracoscope and laparoscope combined surgery in treatment of esophageal carcinoma can shorten time of being in hospital,decrease blood loss,reduce the incidence of complications,receive high safety and remove lymph node more thoroughly.
