ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the antireflux effect of esophagogastrostomy combined with modified Nissen fundoplication after esophageal middle cancer resection.Methods Eighty-two patients with esophageal middle cancer were divided into 2 groups by random digits table method,41 cases underwent esophagogastrostomy with a stapler only (control group),41 cases underwent esophagogastrostomy with stapler combined with modified Nissen undoplication (observation group).Three months after surgery,the patients of the 2 groups completed the research of EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire,and examined with esophageal manometry and gastroscopy.Results There was no statistical difference in incidence of postoperative complication between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05),death was not found during peroperative period.The scores of heart burn and regurgitation in observation group [(13.2 ± 6.1) and (16.9 ± 3.9) scores] were significantly lower that those in control group [(25.6 ± 7.2) and (26.6 ± 4.2) scores],there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no statistical difference in score of dysphagia between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The resting pressure of anastomotic site in observation group [(3.5 ± 2.3) mmHg,1 mmHg =0.133 kPa] was significantly higher than that in the stomach [(2.7 ± 2.1) mmHg],there was statistical difference (P＜ 0.05).The DeMeester score was (54 ± 32) scores,control group was (141 t 84) scores,there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of reflux esophagitis in observation group was 48.8％(20/41),in control group was 75.6％(31/41),there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Esophagogastrostomy combined with modified Nissen fundoplication after esophageal middle cancer resection significantly increases the pressure at the anastomotic site,thus reduces the extent of gastroesophageal reflux,which leads to the reduction of the extent of reflux esophagitis and the improvement of the quality of life.
