Results All the 68 patients have completed the surgery successfully, and they have recoveried well except 3 cases of death. And the main postoperative complication was cardiopulmonary complication and anastomotic fistula. Conclusion Operative treatment of ercervical and upper thoracic esophageal carcino-ma for elderly patients is characterized with highly difficulty and more complications.
