[Possibilities of surgery optimization for esophageal carcinoma in age-related aspect]
Abstract:
The article presents an experience of treatment of 180 patients with esophageal carcinoma. A resection of the esophagus with the gastric graft plasty was performed using original methods in 163 patients. There were 74 patients at a mature age and 89 patients at an elderly and senile age. The method of Doppler-echocardiography was applied for the assessment of cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Results of surgery correlated with both groups. It allowed the recommendation of more wide application of surgical aids in elderly age group. Postoperative lethality consisted of 4.1% for mature patients and 10.1% for the patients at the elderly and senile age.
