divided esophagus, and the esophagus and top of the stomach
are removed by pulling from the neck to leave the Penrose
drain in the posterior mediastinum. The inferior end of the
drain is then attached to the fundus of the stomach to serve as
a guide to direct the stomach to the neck, where a two-layer
anastomosis is performed to the cervical esophagus just above
the thoracic inlet.

Patients in whom the perforation is diagnosed several days

the perforation and the abscesses as adequately as possible.

In some patients it may not be possible to close the perforation because of a delay in diagnosis, because the patient is too
sick for the thoracotomy, or because sepsis persists after
interventional radiological management or dehiscence of a
previous closure.
The treatment of choice in these cases is to divide the
14
esophagostomy and closing the thoracic esophagus as low as
possible in the neck. A long length of cervical esophagus is
critical in this situation, as it makes subsequent reconstruction easier. The stoma can be tunneled onto the anterior chest
wall and matured at an appropriate location. The cardioesophageal junction is closed with a stapling device via laparotomy or laparoscopy. This effectively isolates the perforated
segment and stops mediastinal and pleural soiling.
to re-establish continuity of the gastrointestinal tract. This is
best accomplished 2–3 months later via a total esophagectomy by the transhiatal approach and a gastroesophageal
anastomosis at the neck. Not unexpectedly, this therapy is
associated with a high mortality and significant morbidity.
amenable to primary repair is the insertion of a T-tube. The T-
tube is inserted into the esophagus and an appropriate sized
cut chest drain, to ensure that the distal holes have been
removed, is inserted into the T-tube. A nasogastric tube is
passed through the T-tube into the stomach, securing it into
place. In this manner, the esophagus is drained and a controlled esophocutaneous fistula is created. Although this therapy has been used successfully by a number of surgeons, it is
not recommended as a routine measure and should only be
utilized when the esophagus cannot be reconstructed or
closed in a poor risk patient.

Cervical esophageal perforation
Surgical access to the cervical esophagus has been described
in a previous section. A similar approach to thoracic
esophageal injury is undertaken, including debridement of
muscular tissue to identify the mucosal rent and closure in
two layers. The repair may be buttressed with strap muscle,
but this aspect is less critical in the neck. In fact, many authors
advocate simple drainage of cervical esophageal perforations
because of the tendency of these injuries to heal without
direct suture repair. Adequate drainage can be provided with
either closed suction drains or Penrose drains. Debridement
of the mediastinal space through a right thoracotomy should
be considered if there is significant undrained abscess on CT
scan.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
The patient is intubated for the first 12–24 hours. Good ventilation and full lung expansion are essential to prevent
atelectasis, pneumonia and to allow the decorticated lung to
expand. Also, if the endotracheal tube is removed at the end
of the operation, not uncommonly emergency reintubation is
necessary. Forceful mask ventilation before emergency reintubation increases esophageal pressure and may lead to
dehiscence of the suture lines. These patients need intensive
care during the first few days. The nasogastric tube must be
carefully cared for and routinely flushed, as draining the
stomach and esophagus is imperative. To decrease gastric
acid secretion H2-receptor antagonists are administered. The
apical chest tube is removed as soon as good lung expansion
is achieved and no evidence of air leaks is seen (usually 2 days
after surgery).
Antibiotics and antifungals are continued for 7–10 days,
depending on the degree of contamination: in patients with
positive results on preoperative blood cultures, antibiotics
should be continued for 14 days. Enteral feeds using the feeding jejunostomy are started 48 hrs after surgery. If no feeding
tube is inserted total parenteral nutrition is administered for
the first 8–10 days.
Eight or nine days after surgery, a barium swallow examination should be performed (water-soluble material should
be used if there is any suspicion of dehiscence). If this study
demonstrates no extravasation, the angled chest tube is
removed, and the patient is started immediately on a
mechanically soft diet. Patients are discharged home as soon
as they can eat and have no evidence of residual infection. If
dehiscence is noted and it is contained and asymptomatic,
they are kept on enteral or parenteral nutrition for an additional 10 days and the study is then repeated. If symptoms of
abscess are present, treatment should be the same as if a
delayed perforation is discovered.
Late-diagnosed perforation
Management of the tubes is very important to the success of
the procedure to treat late-diagnosed perforation. The tube
placement should be inspected periodically (every 2–3 days
or more frequently if there is evidence of infection) and
cavity size measured by fistulography. The tubes are
advanced back into the esophageal lumen as soon as the cavity becomes smaller to allow for more rapid closure of the
perforation.

Open antireflux operations through a left
thoracic approach
ANDRÉ DURANCEAU MD
Professor of Surgery, Chair, Division of Thoracic Surgery, Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal, Montréal, Québec, Canada
HISTORY
Hiatal hernia and its symptoms became recognized during
the initial half of the twentieth century. The deranged
anatomy of the hiatus with protrusion of the stomach into the
chest influenced surgeons to treat this condition and its associated reflux by restoration of the normal anatomy of the gastro-esophageal junction by operative techniques as proposed
by Harrington, Sweet, Lertat, Jacob and Allison. Allison,
however, documented that in a 20-year assessment of the
patients he had treated, 49% showed an anatomical recurrence. Allison recognized that the reflux of gastric contents
into the esophagus was responsible for the symptoms and he
proposed the term reflux esophagitis. Woodward and Pope
documented that approximately 50% of patients with an
anatomical repair had pH documentation reflux after their
operation.
Development of more effective antireflux operations were
reported mainly during the 1960s and 1970s, and associated
with the parallel development of more objective methods to
document reflux disease and its complications. The Belsey
technique, the Nissen total fundoplication, and the Hill operation were assessed with their respective approach, their
respective morbidity and recovery. Collis proposed an
esophageal lengthening operation for reflux associated with a
shortened esophagus consequent to mucosal damage and
peri-esophagitis. This elongation procedure was subsequently coupled to a partial or a total fundoplication with
excellent long-term results.
Standard antireflux repairs and modified repairs lengthening the esophagus with an added partial or total fundoplication have now been described using minimally invasive
techniques. The long-term results and the durability of these
procedures in relation to the level of reflux and the inflammatory change encountered are awaited.
The aim of this chapter is to describe the detailed techniques of selected antireflux repairs when they are performed
through the chest.
PRINCIPLES AND JUSTIFICATION
The basic principles of surgical reconstruction of the esophagogastric junction to insure competency of the cardia against
gastroesophageal reflux have been well described and apply to
all types of antireflux repairs:
1 The operation should restore the deficient lower
esophageal sphincter to physiological levels (gradient of
15–20 mmHg above resting intragastric pressure).
2 Adequate length of the distal esophagus, including the
lower esophageal sphincter pressure zone, should be
reduced to an intra-abdominal position, to be exposed to
positive intra-abdominal pressure.
3 The reconstructed cardia should not create a resistance
that will exceed the propulsive force of the esophagus.
4 The operation should be made without tension, and
ensure that the repair will not migrate into the mediastinum.
5 If the esophagus is shortened, either by inflammation
within its wall from long-term reflux or by peri-esophagitis encountered at surgery, an elongation gastroplasty with
an added partial or total fundoplication should be constructed. A repair which has placed the oesophagogastric
junction without tension to the infra-diaphragmatic position, associated with a partial or total fundoplication, is
offered as the ideal treatment.

PREOPERATIVE ASSESSMENT
Symptoms usually bring the patient for investigation. These
symptoms are not reliable indicators of the presence of reflux
disease, the degree of esophageal damage, or provide an
indication for surgery.
Radiological assessment aims to document the anatomy of
the esophagus and stomach and to classify a hiatus hernia
when present. Visual demonstration of reflux on radiology is
a poor indicator of endoscopically proven esophagitis.
Objectivity in documenting reflux disease in the esophagus
requires the use of investigative methods whereby reflux can
be quantified.
1 Endoscopy using the Los Angeles classification or the
MUSE classification gives credit to mucosal damage when
mucosal breaks are documented.
OPERATION
2 Esophageal biopsies will document unequivocal evidence
of reflux damage when acute epithelial or subepithelial
inflammation and/or ulceration are present. Fibrosis in
the submucosa, in the muscle or the presence of a columnar lined esophagus are signs of more advanced disease.
3 Manometry documents the physiological abnormalities
and is the scientific basis of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
An absent lower esophageal sphincter with esophageal contractions showing poor strength and deficient or incoordated propulsion is highly suggestive of the diagnosis.
4 Long-term recording of an acid refluxate (24-hour pH) or
of a biliary-pancreatic refluxate (Bilitec) are used to document abnormal levels of reflux exposure.
5 Radionuclide scintigrams are used mostly to assess the
emptying capacity of the esophagus before and after treating esophageal diseases.

opened, exposing the caudate lobe of the liver. With the index

opened and divided so that the pleura over the right crus is

identified with normal peritoneum covering the abdominal
surface and normal pleura over the thoracic side. Left and
right crura are ready to be reapproximated by wide, tension

easily opened anteriorly. In this situation, the fundus and
greater curvature are easily identified, and the short gastric
vessels are dissected free and ligated. More than 50% of
patients with severe complications of idiopathic reflux disease
(i.e. esophageal stricture or Barrett’s esophagus) actually
reveal no evidence of a hiatal hernia. In such a situation, two
techniques allow access to dissection of the greater curvature.
The first technique opens the retrogastric cavity behind the
esophagogastric junction and left crus. Progressive freeing of
the stomach is then accomplished by ligation of the short gastric vessels. The second approach creates a lateral opening in
the diaphragm, approximately 2–3 cm from the muscular
insertion on the chest wall. A GIA stapler is used to create a 6to 8-cm-long diaphragmatic division. Thus exposed, the
short gastric vessels are ligated under direct vision, and the
entire greater curvature is freed. With two or three fingers
positioned through the abdominal hiatus, the phrenoesophageal ligament is put under tension and divided around
the limits of the hiatus. The anterior and posterior aspects of
the lesser curvature are easily identified and dissected using
this approach. When completely free, the esophagus and
proximal stomach are delivered into the chest through the

curvature are dissected as for a highly selective vagotomy. The
fat pad of the esophagogastric junction is resected, the anterior and posterior vagi are dissected free from the stomach
wall and pushed away to allow the creation of the gastroplasty, and 6 to 7 cm of lesser curvature is denuded from the
surrounding tissue. Closure of the hiatus behind the esophagus is accomplished at this point. These sutures cannot be
easily placed once the esophagogastric junction repair is completed. The right crus is grasped with a small Duval clamp,
holding the crus with the peritoneum under and the pleura
above. This maneuver creates an eversion of the right crus
toward the chest, allowing an excellent visualization of the
inferior vena cava. The left crus is seized in the same way with
a second clamp. 1-0 silk sutures are initially passed posteriorly with bites taking all the tissue layers, including the transversalis fascia and the fibrous portion of the crus. A distance
of 0.5–1 cm is left between each suture, and when the last
suture is installed, easy passage should remain for the index
finger between the esophageal wall containing the number 50
