Abstract
Introduction

Oesophagectomy is the principal treatment for cancer of the oesophagus. The oesophagogastric anastomotic leak is a serious complication of the Ivor Lewis operation, and is associated with increased mortality. The objective of this study is to analyse its incidence, its diagnosis and treatment results.

Material and methods

A descriptive analysis of a consecutive series of oesophagectomies, carried out during a 5 year period, using the Ivor Lewis technique. All patients had hand sewn anastomosis. Data were collected on general morbidity, anastomosis leak, hospital mortality, survival, and stenosis of the anastomosis.

Results

A total of 41 intrathoracic anastomoses were performed. Complications, of any type, were observed in 49% of cases, of which 3 (7.3%) were anastomotic leaks, one of them asymptomatic. One patient was urgently reoperated, and two others were treated with drains and conservative treatment. The mortality of the series was 7.3%, none associated with the anastomotic leak. The survival at 5 years was 27%, and 34% of the patients developed stenosis of the anastomosis.

Conclusions

Intrathoracic anastomosis after oesophagectomy, in our experience, can be performed with a low incidence of anastomotic leaks and without mortality due to this cause. Their treatment must be individualised and a considerable proportion do not require surgical intervention.

Resumen
Introducción

La esofaguectomía es el principal tratamiento del cáncer de esófago. La dehiscencia de la anastomosis esofagogástrica es una complicación grave de la operación de Ivor Lewis que se asocia a una elevada mortalidad. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar su incidencia, su diagnóstico y los resultados del tratamiento.

Material y métodos

Análisis descriptivo de una serie consecutiva de esofaguectomías según la técnica de Ivor Lewis realizadas durante 5 años. Todas las anastomosis se realizaron de forma manual. Se registró la morbilidad general, dehiscencia de anastomosis, mortalidad intrahospitalaria, supervivencia y estenosis de la anastomosis.

Resultados

Se realizaron 41 anastomosis intratorácicas. Se presentaron complicaciones, de cualquier índole, en el 49% de los casos y se diagnosticaron 3 dehiscencias de la anastomosis (7,3%), una de ellas asintomática. Se reintervino de urgencia a un paciente, y los otros dos fueron tratados con drenajes y tratamiento conservador. La mortalidad de la serie fue del 7,3%, ninguna relacionada con la dehiscencia. La supervivencia a los 5 años fue del 27%. Un 34% de los pacientes desarrollaron estenosis de la anastomosis.

Conclusiones

La anastomosis intratorácica tras esofaguectomía puede realizarse, en nuestra experiencia, con una baja incidencia de dehiscencias y sin mortalidad por esta causa. El tratamiento de las mismas debe individualizarse y una parte considerable no precisa reintervención quirúrgica.
