474 Thoracoscopic cardiomyotomy for achalasia
https://t.me/med1917
Positioning
The patient is placed in the right lateral decubitus posi-
1
tion, slightly prone. The left lateral interspaces are dis­tracted to facilitate port placement by placing a large sand bag under the right lower lateral chest wall.

Port placement
A left pneumothorax is created by blunt dissection in the
2
seventh interspace in the anterior axillary line. Insertion of an 11 mm port allows the insertion of a 30 degree thoraco­scope. The remaining ports are inserted under direct vision. Choosing the best site for port insertion is assisted by prelim­inary palpation of the interspace, while at the same time view­ing the interspaces internally with the thoracoscope.
An 11 mm port is placed as caudally as possible in the midaxillary line in the ninth interspace just above the lateral insertion of the diaphragm. This port is used for distal retrac­tion of the left crus with the claws of a laparoscopic Babcock forceps as well as distal displacement of the dome of the left hemidiaphragm with the shaft of the instrument.
An 11mm port is placed in the tenth interspace, just lateral to the lateral border of the erector spinae muscles. A 5 mm port is also placed in the tenth interspace 3–4 cm anterior to the 11 mm port.After insertion of these ports, the thoraco­scope is switched to the 11 mm port in the tenth interspace.
Finally a 5 mm port is inserted in the eighth interspace in the posterior axillary line. This port is used for peri­esophageal dissection and the cardiomyotomy.
Positioning of staff and monitors
https://t.me/med1917
The surgeon stands on the left-hand side of the operating table. The assistant stands just caudad to the surgeon. The scrub nurse stands on the right-hand side of the operating table. Two monitors are placed cephalad to these three per­sons, one on either side of the operating table. (see Figure 1)
Mobilization of the left lung
The patient is tilted head down to assist cephalad dis-
3
placement of the left lung. A blunt retractor is placed between the diaphragm and the diaphragmatic surface of the left lung to push the lung cephalad and expose the left inferior pulmonary ligament. This ligament is divided in a cephalad direction with scissors inserted through the tenth interspace 5 mm port. The cephalad limit of this dissection is the left inferior pulmonary vein. After this dissection the lower por­tion of the left lung falls away cephalad.
Operation 475

Exposure of the esophagus
The structures of the mediastinum are identified for
4
orientation. To be defined in a posterior to anterior axis just above the diaphragm are the vertebral bodies, the descending aorta, the triangular space overlying the distal esophagus, and the pericardium. If the position of the esoph­agus is uncertain at this point, it can be defined by having a flexible endoscope passed into the distal esophagus and prod­ding its lateral wall with the instrument lighted.

476 Thoracoscopic cardiomyotomy for achalasia
https://t.me/med1917
The mediastinal pleura overlying the esophagus is picked
5
up and divided in a caudad direction. The incision starts just caudad to the left inferior pulmonary vein and extends to the reflection of mediastinal pleura onto the diaphragm. The scissors are inserted through the eighth interspace 5mm port. Laparoscopic Debakey forceps inserted in the ninth space 11 mm port and the tenth space 5 mm ports distract the pleura anteriorly and posteriorly respectively. The scrub nurse holds the anterior grasper. The assistant holds the pos­terior grasper in his left hand and the telescope in his right. This exposes the fibro-fatty tissue overlying the left lateral side of the esophagus, which needs to be divided in a longitu­dinal direction to expose the longitudinal fibers of the distal esophagus. One or two interconnecting branches between the anterior and posterior vagal trunks may be encountered which need to be divided. There may also be one or two small esophageal branches to the aorta, which need to be coagu­lated. Once the peri-esophageal plane has been identified it should be opened up both anteriorly and posteriorly by blunt dissection to expose the left lateral wall of the esophagus. The two DeBakey forceps are used to retract peri-esophageal adventitia laterally during this exposure.

Once the fleshy fibers of the left crus are encountered,
6
division of the pleura proceeds anteriorly and posteriorly along the line of reflection of mediastinal pleura onto the diaphragm for 1–2 cm in either direction. This allows the muscular left crus where it overlies the esophagus to be firmly grasped with the laparoscopic Babcock forceps. At this point the anterior and posterior vagal trunks should be clearly visi­ble at the anterior and posterior limits of the subcrural dis­section. Subcrural dissection is essential to access and divide the circular fibers of the distal esophagus and the uppermost sling fibers of the stomach. The phrenoesophageal ligament is not recognizable as a distinct structure. It amounts to little more than peri-esophageal adventitia slightly more resilient than the adventitia above.
The myotomy
https://t.me/med1917
The longitudinal myotomy is begun at the level of dilated
7
esophagus as determined endoscopically at the time. In order to find the submucosal plane the muscle is grasped anterior and posterior to the point of commencement of the myotomy and distracted. The plane is soon encountered after several small trial longitudinal cuts. The graspers need to be slightly repositioned at this time to pick up and gently distract the edges of the myotomy.
The submucosal plane is developed caudad by opening the blunt-nosed scissors. The myotomy is extended caudally through mobilized muscularis propria. With each cut of the myotomy the graspers are repositioned further caudad. The mucosa is separated from the muscularis propria over a quar­ter of the esophageal circumference by blunt lateral dissection through the loose relatively avascular submucosal plane. This allows the disturbingly thin mucosa to bulge laterally with minimal luminal insufflation
The endoscopist determines the end point of the myotomy functionally. It is the point at which the myotomy enables the gastroesophageal junction to pout open with air insufflation alone. The endoscope needs to manipulated very gently as the esophageal mucosa deep to the myotomy might potentially be torn. If necessary the myotomy will need to be extended to achieve this end point. The other guide to the end point is the submucosa itself. In the esophagus it is loose and avascular. At the gastroesophageal junction it becomes less loose and more vascular.
Once the myotomy is complete, it is leak tested by gentle luminal insufflation with the myotomy submerged in irriga­tion fluid.
Outcome 477

PROBLEMS
Bleeding points on the cut muscle can be carefully coagu­lated, taking great care not to coagulate the mucosa.
The most likely point for perforation is the distal end of the myotomy where the submucosal tissue is less loose. A tiny perforation can be closed by careful mucosa-to-mucosa suture and decompressed with a nasoesophageal tube placed proximal to the myotomy
Closure
A small caliber intercostal catheter is inserted to drain the base of the left pleural cavity. The left lung is then re-inflated. Skin wounds are closed with subcuticular absorbable sutures.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
The intercostal catheter is usually removed on the first postoperative day. Clear fluids are commenced on the first
postoperative day after the integrity of the esophagus is assured by contrast radiology. A pureed diet is usually com­menced on the second postoperative day and continued for a week.
OUTCOME
The primary expectation of the patient will be a relief of dysphagia and an ability to eat normally. Whilst a very sig­nificant improvement in swallowing is to be expected, the ability to swallow normally never really returns completely. Nevertheless, the usual improvement is so great that patients don’t seem to mind that normality has not been quite achieved. Weight gain postoperatively can be very impressive. Regurgitation is likely to disappear and the patient should be able to lie flat without fear of aspiration. Enquiry should be made about heartburn as a possible com­plication.

THORACOTOMY FOR CARDIOMYOTOMY
Only differences from the thoracoscopic approach are men­tioned.
Good access to the lowermost esophagus is possible through a left lateral seventh space thoracotomy. The assis­tant stands on the right-hand side of the table opposite the surgeon. The wound is distracted with a Finochetti retractor. The instruments used to mobilize the left lung, expose the esophagus, and perform the myotomy will be different, obvi­ously, but the sequence of the surgical steps will be the same.

CLASSIFICATION
In this institution the term adenocarcinoma of the
1
gastroesophageal junction is used to describe all tumors that have their center within an area 5 cm orad or 5 cm aborad to the lower esophageal sphincter (LOS). Esophageal adenocarcinomas and subcardial gastric carcinomas are included in this category if they infiltrate the cardia, meaning the terminal esophageal musculature. This therefore leads to the following classification for different types of adenocarci­nomas at the gastroesophageal junction:
1 Type I: adenocarcinoma in Barrett’s esophagus (center of
tumor 1–5 cm oral to the LOS)
2 Type II: carcinoma arising from the cardia proper (center
of tumor between 1 cm above and 2 cm below the LOS)
3 Type III: subcardial or fundal carcinoma of the stomach
that infiltrates the lower esophagus mostly within the sub­mucosa (center of tumor 2–5 cm below the LOS)
Type I
Type II

480 Esophagogastrectomy for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and cardia
https://t.me/med1917
PRINCIPLES AND JUSTIFICATION
Five different procedures are available for the
2a–d
For type I carcinomas transthoracic en bloc esophagec­tomy or transmediastinal (transhiatal) esophagectomy and partial upper gastrectomy can be applied (Figure 2a).
For type II and III carcinomas extended total gastrectomy with distal esophageal resection via a transhiatal approach is appropriate (Figure 2b, d). Splenectomy en bloc with gastrec­tomy is only performed in case of tumor infiltration of the splenic hilus or overt lymph node metastasis in this area.
Total esophagogastrectomy is a procedure for very advanced type II carcinomas (Figure 2c). This is only applied if tumor free resection margins cannot be achieved by distal esophageal resection in combination with total gastrectomy.
Distal esophageal resection with proximal partial gastrec­tomy and jejunum interposition represents the so-called Merendino operation.
In this chapter the surgical technique for transmediastinal subtotal esophageal resection and partial upper gastrectomy as well as total esophagogastrectomy is described (Figures 2a, c). Transthoracic en bloc esophagectomy is shown in Chapter
36.

Indications
From the authors point of view transthoracic en bloc esophagectomy and upper partial gastrectomy with gastric pull-up and high intrathoracic anastomosis represents the procedure of choice for type I adenocarcinoma. The justification is the more extended mediastinal lymphadenec­tomy compared to transmediastinal esophagectomy. This principal is supported by the results of the prospective ran­domized trial by Hulscher.
Transmediastinal esophagectomy as described in the following can be justified in patients with a disturbed lung function to avoid thoracotomy. For patients with type I or type II mucosal carcinomas which usually have no lymphn­ode metastasis, a Merendino operation could be appropriate.

PREOPERATIVE ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING
A careful preoperative diagnostic examination is necessary for surgery of adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction. The tumor is staged by endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography, barium swallow, and computed tomo­graphic scan. These investigations give quite exact informa-

tion for TNM staging. If an advanced tumor of the gastroe­sophageal junction is present, neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiochemotherapy may be appropriate. It is also important in preoperative assessment to consider the risk factors that are present. This includes an assessment of pulmonary, car­diac, renal, and hepatic function. In most cases a recon­struction is performed by stomach interposition, but the colon should be prepared before operation by orthotopic bowel lavage and ideally, a colonoscopy, so that an alterna-

tive is available should technical difficulties occur, as described in Chapter 35.
Anesthesia
The operation is performed under routine general anesthesia. In contrast to a transthoracic esophagectomy, a double­lumen endotracheal tube is not necessary. A peridural catheter is recommended.
Transmediastinal esophagectomy with proximal gastrec-
3
tomy involves the subtotal removal of the esophagus and proximal stomach by a transmediastinal route (without a thoracotomy) and is performed through an abdominal and cervical approach.
POSITION OF PATIENT
Transmediastinal esophagectomy is performed with the
4
patient lying supine. A bolster is used to bring the cardia
region forward to lessen the depth of dissection.

https://t.me/med1917
The neck is positioned as for thyroid gland surgery with
5
the head turned to the right to expose the left part of the neck. Sterile draping is placed in such a way that two surgical teams (cervical and abdominal) can work simultaneously. The esophagus is intubated with a large tube to facilitate pal­pation.
If the cervical dissection is performed endoscopically, the position of the video monitor on the right side of the neck of the patient must be taken into account. In addition, enough space should be available for the movement of the medi­astinoscope on the left side of the neck where the surgeon for the cervical approach is positioned.
A suprapancreatic lymphadenectomy is an important part of the operation for adenocarcinoma of the cardia. Therefore, a wide abdominal approach is necessary. The authors per­form the operation via a transverse upper abdominal incision with enlargement by an upper midline incision in the direc­tion of the xiphoid process. This approach provides an excel­lent view of the whole upper abdominal cavity.

PREPARATION OF THE DISTAL ESOPHAGUS
The first step in the operation is to divide the left tri-
6
angular ligament of the liver and to hold the left lobe to the right side using a retractor. The esophageal hiatus is next enlarged. It is crucial to enlarge the hiatus enough. This enlargement is performed in a ventral and slightly left lateral direction and should avoid opening the adjacent peri­cardium. This dissection of the anterior commissure of the diaphragm is nearly always sufficient. Very rarely an addi­tional division of the left or right diaphragmatic crus is undertaken to improve exposure further. After dissection of the visceral peritoneum, the terminal esophagus is bluntly dissected and a tape is passed around it. The lower medi­astinum can now be palpated to decide the resectability of the tumor. If it is removable, attention is turned to the stomach. The preparation of the stomach as an esophageal substitute is described in Chapter 35 on pp. 353–366.
PREPARATION OF THE MEDIASTINAL ESOPHAGUS
https://t.me/med1917
After the stomach has been mobilized, transmediastinal
7
blunt dissection of the esophagus is performed. Two or three fingers are moved close to the esophageal wall and used to free the esophagus with spreading and circular move­ments. A 42-Fr bougie is placed within the esophagus to facil­itate palpation. All pliable tissue can be dissected bluntly without danger provided the dissection is kept close to the esophageal wall. Direct aortic branches are very rare in the lower part of the mediastinum. The only structures that can­not be bluntly divided by the fingers are the vagal trunks. These are divided with scissors.
Operations 483
7
The esophageal hiatus can be opened up using two very
8
long hook retractors. This allows the whole posterior mediastinum nearly up to the tracheal bifurcation to be inspected without difficulty. If bleeding occurs in this area, it can be controlled under direct vision. If bleeding is severe, it is not necessary to reposition the patient immediately and perform a thoracotomy because most of the bleeding points can be exposed and stopped through the abdominal approach.
The exposure afforded by this approach allows lym­phadenectomy of the lower posterior mediastinum to be per­formed under direct vision. The ideal plane of dissection is the anterior wall of the aorta. The periesophageal lymphatic tissue between the pericardium and the aorta, as well as between both diaphragmatic bundles, should be removed en bloc with the esophagus. If the tumor is infiltrating the diaphragmatic bundles or the pericardium, these should be included in the resection. Attention has to be paid to the tho­racic duct in order to avoid chylus fistula.
