我院自1961～1981年共行食管癌和贡门癌手术977例,占同时期胸部肿瘤手术的32.65％(977/2,992)。虽然近年来外科和麻醉技术有较大的进步,但食管癌和贲门癌手术的并发症及死亡率仍较高,术后疗效亦差。因而探索改进手术方法,加强综合治疗措施,以减少并发症及手术死亡,提高疗效,是一项重要的临床工作。 In our hospital, 977 cases of esophageal cancer and tributary cancer were performed from 1961 to 1981, accounting for 32.65% (977/2,992) of thoracic tumor surgery at the same time. Although surgical and anesthetic techniques have made great progress in recent years, the complications and mortality of esophageal and cardiac cancer surgery are still high, and postoperative curative effect is also poor. Therefore, it is an important clinical work to explore and improve surgical methods and strengthen comprehensive treatment measures to reduce complications, surgical mortality, and improve efficacy.
