ABSTRACT

Objective To study the clinical application of mediastinal elastic drainage-tube for patients with anastomotic leak after esophagus carcinoma or esophagogastric junction carcinoma surgery.Methods Two hundred and eighty-two cases esophagus carcinoma or esophagogastric junction carcinoma patients were randomly divided into 2 groups.The control group(n=140) were indwelled thoracic drainage tube after operation.However,the experimental group(n=142) were indwelled thoracic drainage tube and mediastinal elastic drainage-tube after operation.The incidence of the esophagogastrostomy fistula,diagnosis time of anastomotic leakage,maximum temperature,time of continuous ferer,total white blood cell count,cardiopulmonary complications,postoperative hospital stay,hospitalization expenses were observed and analyzed.Results (1)The incidence of the esophagogastrostomy fistula in the experimental group and the control group was 9.8%(14/142) and 12.1%(17/140),and there was no significant difference between the two groups(χ2=0.376,P>0.05).The diagnosis time of anastomotic leakage,maximum temperature,time of continuous ferer and total white blood cell count of the experimental group and the control group was (6.4±0.6) d and (10.6±0.6) d,(38.1±0.1)℃ and (39.0±0.2)℃,(72.2±2.8) h and (102.6±3.3) h,(12.6±0.7)×109/L and (19.7±0.6)×109/L after operation,there was significant difference between the two groups(t=2.708,1.662,3.164,1.837,P<0.05).The incidence of pulmonary complication,cordis complication of the experimental group and the control group was 19.7%(28/142) and 32.1%(45/140),18.3%(26/142) and 40.7%(57/140) after operation,there was significant difference between the two groups (χ2=5.077,6.606,P<0.05).The postoperative hospital stay,hospitalization expenses of the experimental group and the control group was (28.1±4.2) d and (45.6±3.9) d,￥(6 8174.7±3206.5) and￥(8 4774.8±4007.3) after operation,there was significant difference between the two groups(t=2.001,1.709,P<0.05).Conclusion The mediastinal elastic drainage-tube for patients with anastomotic leak after esophagus carcinoma or esophagogastric junction carcinoma surgery can not reduce the incidence of the esophagogastrostomy fistula,but which is conducive to the early diagnosis and timely treatment of anastomotic leakage.Meanwhile it can reduce the incidence rate of cardiac and pulmonary complications,shorten the length of stay in hospital,reduce the total cost of hospitalization.
