Safety and efficacy of vagus nerve preservation technique during minimally invasive esophagectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to assess the feasibility, efficacy and safety of McKeown surgery with vagal-sparing using minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).

Methods

McKeown surgery with vagal-sparing technique using MIE was adopted on patients diagnosed with resectable esophageal cancer. From June 2020 to January 2021, a total of 20 patients from the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the National Clinical Research Center for Cancer were enrolled.

Results

The study group included 17 (85%) males and 3 (15%) females, with an average age of 62.6 (±7.1) years. The most common tumor location was lower thoracic esophagus (n=9, 45%), followed by middle thoracic esophagus (n=8, 40%) and upper thoracic esophagus (n=3, 15%). Nine (45%) patients had T1b disease, followed by T2 (n=8, 40%), T1a (n=2, 10%), and Tis (n=1, 5%). The average operation time was 221.5 (±61.2) minutes. Postoperative complications were as follow: 2 (10%) with hoarseness, 2 (10%) with pulmonary infection, 1 (5%) with arrhythmia, 1 (5%) with anastomotic leakage, 1 (5%) with delayed gastric emptying, 1 (5%) with pleural effusion, and 1 (5%) with diarrhea. Dumping syndrome, cholestasis, and chylothorax were not observed, and there was no perioperative death.

Conclusions

MIE with vagus nerve preservation is a feasible and safe technique, with the possibility to be an alternative for esophageal carcinoma. Further study is needed to explore the functional outcome of preserving vagus nerve.

Project description:Minimally invasive esophagectomy is increasingly performed for the treatment of esophageal cancer, but it is unclear whether hybrid minimally invasive esophagectomy (HMIE) or totally minimally invasive esophagectomy (TMIE) should be preferred. The objective of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of studies comparing HMIE with TMIE. A systematic literature search was performed in MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Articles comparing HMIE and TMIE were included. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used for critical appraisal of methodological quality. The primary outcome was pneumonia. Sensitivity analysis was performed by analyzing outcome for open chest hybrid MIE versus total TMIE and open abdomen MIE versus TMIE separately. Therefore, subgroup analysis was performed for laparoscopy-assisted HMIE versus TMIE, thoracoscopy-assisted HMIE versus TMIE, Ivor Lewis HMIE versus Ivor Lewis TMIE, and McKeown HMIE versus McKeown TMIE. There were no randomized controlled trials. Twenty-nine studies with a total of 3732 patients were included. Studies had a low to moderate risk of bias. In the main analysis, the pooled incidence of pneumonia was 19.0% after HMIE and 9.8% after TMIE which was not significantly different between the groups (RR: 1.46, 95% CI: 0.97-2.20). TMIE was associated with a lower incidence of wound infections (RR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.13-2.90) and less blood loss (SMD: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.34-1.22) but with longer operative time (SMD:-0.33, 95% CI: -0.59--0.08). In subgroup analysis, laparoscopy-assisted HMIE was associated with a higher lymph node count than TMIE, and Ivor Lewis HMIE was associated with a lower anastomotic leakage rate than Ivor Lewis TMIE. In general, TMIE was associated with moderately lower morbidity compared to HMIE, but randomized controlled evidence is lacking. The higher leakage rate and lower lymph node count that was found after TMIE in sensitivity analysis indicate that TMIE can also have disadvantages. The findings of this meta-analysis should be considered carefully by surgeons when moving from HMIE to TMIE.
