Larynx-preserving limited resection with total thoracic esophagectomy and gastric pull-up reconstruction: A promising treatment for selected cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

There is no consensus on treatment for cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Our aim is to evaluate the feasibility and outcome of larynx-preserving limited resection with total thoracic esophagectomy and gastric pull-up reconstruction for the treatment of cervical ESCC without tumor involvement of the larynx and hypopharynx.

Materials and methods

Retrospective analysis of patients with cervical ESCC who underwent R0 surgical resection from 2006 to 2011 in our center was performed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival time for patients.

Results

In total, 74 cervical ESCC patients were enrolled in the study. The mortality rate in 30 days was 8.1%, the total complication rate (at least one) was 47.3%, anastomosis leakage o
