Efficacy and prognosis of different surgical approach in siewert Ⅱ and Ⅲ gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the surgical approach of Siewert Ⅱ and Ⅲ gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.Methods A total of 148 cases with Siewert Ⅱ,Ⅲ type patients were prospectively studied.The patients were divided into two groups,including transthoracic approach group (58 cases) and transabdominal approach group(90 cases).The results of surgery were compared.Patients were followed up for 2 years and survival rate were compared.Results In transthoracic approach group and transabdominal approach group,operative time ((329.5 ± 84.3) min vs.(202.4± 84.5) min,t =15.431,P ＜ 0.001),the positive rate margin stump (8.62％ vs.1.11％,x2 =5.763,P =0.012),pleural effusion (13.79％ vs.2.22％,x2 =10.462,P ＜0.001) and pulmonary infection rate (15.52％ vs 1.11％,x2 =12.574,P＜ 0.001) were significantly higher than transabdominal approach group,and number of lymph node dissection ((16.7 ± 4.3) vs.(22.6± 5.5),t =6.321,P =0.004) was significantly less than transabdominal approach group.In incidence of blood loss,tumor diameter,anastomotic leakage (or bleeding) and discharge time,there was no significant difference (P ＞0.05).One-year survival rate of transthoracic approach group was 73.24％,and 2-year survival rate was 53.43％.Oneyear survival rate of transabdominal approach group was 78.42％,and 2-year survival rate was 57.51％.Survival rate of two groups showed no significant difference (P =0.453,0.311).Conclusion Transabdominal surgical approach in Siewert Ⅱ,Ⅲ patients is better than transthoracic approach,can better carry out abdominal lymph node dissection,does not destroy the integrity of the chest,and avoid the occurrence of related complications.
