As an alternative, the cervical anastomosis can be performed using a stapling technique (see chapter 34). The
detachable head of the EEA stapler is introduced into the
esophageal stump, which is closed around the mandrel by a
purse-string suture. The most appropriate size of stapler is
usually size 28; smaller staplers tend to induce postoperative
anastomotic stenosis. The recommendation is that the specially designed shorter head of the EEA stapler be used for
introduction into the cervical esophagus because it can more
easily be placed into the esophageal stump. The stapler is
inserted through an incision at the top of the stomach, and
the central spike is driven out 5–7 cm aborad through the
stomach front wall. After the stapler is turned in the direction
of the esophageal remnant, the central pin is connected with
the mandrel, and the stapler is closed, fired, and removed.
The site of introduction into the stomach is closed using a TA
55 linear stapler.
Elevation of the stomach and intrathoracic
anastomosis
If an intrathoracic anastomosis is planned, it should be performed toward the apex of the pleura. It is important for the
18
postoperative long-term results that the stomach be completely transferred into the thorax. This means that the preparation of the stomach is identical to the preparation for an
abdominocervical interposition. When the preparation of the
stomach has been finished, the gastric tube is pushed through
the esophageal hiatus into the posterior mediastinum and the
right pleural cavity. The abdominal approach is closed, and
the patient is turned for a right thoracic approach to the
esophagus. The anastomosis is now performed directly
between the esophageal stump and the stomach, either endto-end or as an implantation of the esophageal remnant on
the front wall of the stomach. The suture technique can either
be performed by hand or by stapling. If the gastric tube is long
enough to preserve a blind oral part of the stomach above the
anastomosis, then this can be used to cover the front wall
suture line of the esophagogastrostomy. This procedure also
has an antireflux effect.
Drainage
The cervical anastomosis is drained by a Penrose or other soft
drain. In an intrathoracic anastomosis the pleural cavity is
drained by a thoracic tube.

Finishing of the abdominal operation
After the esophagogastric anastomosis in the neck is finished,
the abdominal operation should be completed. The operative
field is checked for hemostasis. Drainage of the peritoneal
cavity is not necessary. When the gastric interposition is positioned well, the pylorus should be located in the area of the
diaphragm. The abdomen is closed in layers.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
Postoperative care should follow the course described for
gastroesophagectomy for adenocarcinoma of the cardia in
Chapter 46.
Complications
The most common complication of gastric interposition is
leakage from the cervical anastomosis. In the authors’ experience this complication is unlikely if the gastric tube is elevated
as proximally as possible so that the end-to-end anastomosis
is performed in a well-vascularized area of the stomach.
Other kinds of cervical anastomoses cannot be recommended, as often the gastric part orad to the anastomosis
develops necrosis.
If leakage does develop, a salivary fistula results, which usually heals without complications provided sufficient external
drainage is present. If drainage is insufficient, a phlegmon
may develop in the cervical soft tissue. Therefore, whenever a
fever of unknown origin develops postoperatively, the cervical anastomosis should be checked. This can be performed
radiologically using contrast medium, but sometimes a safer
method is to check the anastomosis directly by opening the
cervical incision.
If leakage has occurred, open treatment of the cervical
wound is appropriate. Early and adequate external drainage
of a cervical leak is necessary to avoid spread of infection into
the mediastinum.
More major (or even complete) necrosis of the interposed
stomach is extremely rare as the gastric tube usually has a very
good blood supply. Very occasionally, postoperative
pylorospasm may occur that leads to clinically relevant delay
in gastric emptying. Such a situation can easily be treated by a
careful endoscopic dilatation of the pylorus. Gastric dilatation as a consequence of postoperative paralysis is extremely
rare after gastric tube formation by this technique. A dislocation of the interposed stomach from the mediastinum into
one of the pleural cavities is also very rare. If the stomach is
shown to be distended with air on postoperative thoracic
radiography, temporary placement of a nasogastric tube is
suggested. This avoids compression of mediastinal organs
and also avoids aspiration.
The most important long-term complication is the
development of an anastomotic stricture. This is usually
caused by scarring as a result of anastomotic vascular insufficiency, but use of too small a stapler could also cause dysphagia from anastomotic stenosis. In either case the problem
can be solved by endoscopic dilatation. If it has no lasting
effect, resection of the stenosis and reanastomosis is recommended.
OUTCOME
Functional studies of patients with intrathoracic stomach as
esophageal replacement have shown good long-term results.
Despite a persistent acid secretion of the vagotomized thoracic stomach, no pathological gastroesophageal reflux or
esophagitis was found proximal to the cervical anastomosis.
Gastric biopsies mostly reveal mild gastritis of the antral
mucosa, and metaplasia is rare. The intrathoracic stomach
needs no drainage to facilitate emptying. Postoperative reflux
esophagitis is prevented by complete intrathoracic stomach
transposition with cervical esophagogastrostomy.
In young patients with benign esophageal diseases
requiring an esophagectomy, the authors prefer to use the
colon as an esophageal substitute to preserve the gastric
reservoir.

HISTORY
Before 1946, the only widely practiced approach to the thoracic esophagus had been described by Sweet using a leftsided thoracotomy. Although this operation permitted
relatively good access to the lower third of the esophagus,
cancers of the middle and upper third of the esophagus were
dissected with greater difficulty because of the overlying aortic arch. In 1946, Lewis described the abdominal and right
thoracic approach for subtotal esophagectomy. This operation was adopted by Tanner in the United Kingdom (LewisTanner operation) and by Santy in France (Lewis-Santy
operation), and has remained the favored operation for an
abdominal and right thoracic subtotal esophagectomy.
OPERATIONS
Abdominal approach
The operation is usually commenced with the abdominal
approach, which enables the assessment of liver metastases,
the involvement of draining lymph nodes, and the performance of gastrolysis.

The first step is to tie and divide the vessels of

vessels. During the mobilization of the greater curve of the
stomach, identification and preservation of the right gastroepiploic vessels is important. The abdominal esophagus is
dissected next. The left triangular ligament of the liver is
divided, and the left lobe is retracted to the right to reveal the
esophageal hiatus. This should be dissected with scissors
the gastrocolic ligament and the short gastric
under direct vision after the peritoneum is divided in front of
the esophagus. Opening the tissues to the left and right of the
esophagus permits a curved clamp to be introduced and a
tape to be passed around the esophagus. The tape can then be
used to provide traction on the abdominal esophagus, which
aids in the ligation and division of the remaining short gastric
vessels.

The lesser omentum is then ligated and divided from the

hiatus down to the pylorus. Mobilization of the duodenum (Kocher maneuver) is not routinely performed for this
operation but can be undertaken if increased gastric mobility
is required.
A pyloroplasty or a pyloroclasia is performed to help prevent delay in gastric emptying, which sometimes occurs after
this procedure. Pyloroclasia is usually performed by using the
thumb and middle finger as dilators that pass through the
pylorus by invaginating the gastric or duodenal wall to disrupt the sphincteric mechanism.
The right crus is divided and the hiatus opened. The intraabdominal esophagus is then freed from all its hiatal attachments by a combination of blunt and sharp dissection.

A gastric tube can be constructed at this stage,

part of the operation. The gastric tube is constructed from
below the ‘crow’s foot’ on the antrum of the stomach up to
the hiatus. This procedure is most readily performed by using
a surgical stapler (e.g. Endo GIA) and leaving the last 5 cm at
the cardia unstapled until the esophagus and stomach have
been successfully mobilized and delivered into the chest. The
danger of completing the gastric tube at this stage is that,
should the esophageal cancer prove unresectable, then a complete obstruction has been created unnecessarily. The staple
line is oversewn to ensure hemostasis and minimize the possibility of a leak.
A feeding jejunostomy can now be created to facilitate
postoperative enteric nutrition.

Thoracic approach
POSITION OF PATIENT
The patient is placed on the left side with a sandbag
6
under the left ribs. Great care should be taken to ensure
not only that the patient is well supported and secured, but
that no unsupported pressure points exist. The right arm is
most conveniently strapped to a padded overhead rail.
INCISION
Two thoracic incisions are possible, one using a rib resection
and the other passing through the intercostal space. The
authors have found an unacceptable incidence of paradoxical
respiration after rib resection and now recommend an intercostal approach, either through the sixth intercostal space for
lower-third cancers or through the fifth intercostal space for
cancers of the middle and upper third. Gradual increase in rib
retraction at intervals during the procedure can produce adequate retraction without rib fracture, even in elderly patients.
The scapula, once freed from its muscular attachments inferiorly, should be retracted upward. At this stage the location of
the ribs can be confirmed by counting from the second rib,
felt at the apex of the thorax, down to the desired interspace.
The periosteum of the rib is lifted with a periosteal elevator,
and the intercostal space is opened on the lower border of the
rib. The pleura is then opened.
A Finochietto or Lortat-Jacob retractor is positioned and
gently opened. Any pleural attachments are freed, and the
lung is mobilized to the hilus. The lung is retracted forward
and collapsed. It can be held in this position by fixing a broad
blade attached to the rib retractor.
