Abstract
Background
Oesophageal replacement by colonic interposition remains a major challenge due to its complexity and high incidence of complications; here we applied the two-stage operation strategy to oesophageal replacement by colonic interposition in high-risk oesophageal cancer patients following gastrectomy.
Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis on the data of patients with a history of distal gastrectomy who underwent one-stage and two-stage oesophageal replacement by colonic interposition from February 2012 to February 2020, and explored the relationship between the staging strategy and postoperative outcomes.
Results
The clinical data of 93 patients were collected and analysed. There were no significant differences in the patients’ characteristics between the two groups (all p > 0.05), except for comorbidities and Charlson Comorbidity Index (all p < 0.05). The Clavien–Dindo score between the two groups was also not significantly different (p > 0.05). The logistic regression models revealed that patients who had received preoperative therapy had a higher Clavien–Dindo score (p < 0.05), but the stage strategy did not (p > 0.05).
Conclusions
The two-stage operation is feasible in high-risk patients who need to undergo colonic interposition for oesophageal replacement. At the same time, it lowers the technical threshold of colonic interposition for oesophageal replacement, increasing this surgical technique’s acceptability.
