ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the application of gastric(enteric)-pharyngeal anastomosis for cervical esophageal carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 12 cases with surgical management of cervical esophageal carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. Results The resectability of cervical esophageal carcinoma was 100%,no case complicated with pharyngeal fistula.Swallowing function of all cases was in a good state.The overall follow-up was 1 to 7 years,among them 9 surviving,3 dead.The surviving 5 cases are over 3 years,the ongest beyond 7 years. Conclusions Gastric(enteric)-pharyngeal anastomosis is a good primarily rehabilitating method of the cervical esophageal defect after surgical treatment of cervical esophageal carcinoma.
