Abstract

Abtract: Esophageal cancer is a poor prognosis disease. Preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery has been shown to reduce recurrence rate, increase overall survival, increase chance of R0 resection rate. Methodology: A prospective descriptive study was performed on a group of middle-lower third esophageal cancer who underwent preoperative chemoradiotherapy and follow by thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy with lymph node dissection from September 2022 to May 2023 at Department of Abdominal Surgery I – National Cancer Hospital. Result: With the sample size is 20 patients, we recognized the intraoperative complications were pleural tear (40%)  and the main postoperative complication were pneumonia (25%), recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (10%). 45% of the patients have no residual viable primitive tumour at pathological examination and the average number of retrieved lymph node was 33,5 ± 15,2 per-patient. Conclusion: This prospective study demonstrates that thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy and lymph node dissection follow preoperative chemoradiotherapy is feasible and safe with with an acceptable rate of postoperative complications.
