Evolution and critical appraisal of anastomotic technique following resection of esophageal adenocarcinoma

description The aim of this study was to critically evaluate acute and long‐term complications of hand‐sewn and semimechanical cervical esophagogastric anastomosis following resection of primary esophageal adenocarcinoma. Between February 1991 and 2001, 91 consecutive patients underwent subtotal esophagectomy (transthoracic, n=49; transhiatal, n=42), transposing a gastric tube based on the right gastroepiploic artery. All esophagogastric anastomoses were performed in the left neck using a hand‐sewn technique (n=53) and, from September 1997, a side‐to‐side semimechanical technique (n=38). Outcomes evaluated were anastomotic leak rates, length of stay, and development of strictures. Postoperative mortality was 4.4% (all cardiopulmonary causes). Fifty‐eight patients (63.7%) had an uncomplicated postoperative course, with a median postoperative length of stay of 10 days (vs. 20 days with associated morbidity; P ≤ 0.001). Anastomotic leaks were the leading cause of postoperative morbidity (16.5%, 15/91), and were classified into four types based on severity. The semimechanical anastomotic technique was associated with a reduced leak rate compared with the hand‐sewn technique (7.9%, 3/38 vs. 22.6%, 12/53; P=0.08), although different patterns of anastomotic failure were seen following semimechanical anastomoses, with increased mediastinal and pleural sepsis. Anastomotic strictures developed in nine (17.0%) hand‐sewn and three (7.9%) semimechanical anastomoses. Our conclusion was that a semimechanical technique for cervical esophagogastrostomy is associated with reduced anastomotic leak rates compared with hand‐sewn anastomoses, resulting in a shorter postoperative stay. Patterns of anastomotic failure varied between each technique, possibly as a consequence of a longer cervical esophageal segment required for construction of a semimechanical anastomosis. The association between anastomotic technique and stricture development was not clear from this study.
