Objective To explore clinical application values of thoracoscopic and laparoscopic-assisted minimally invasive McKeown procedure for esophageal cancer. Methods Clinical data of 196 patients with esophageal cancer (EC) who underwent thoracoscopic and laparoscopic-assisted minimally invasive McKeown procedure in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from February 2008 to August 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 145 male and 51 female patients with their age of 40-76 (58.8±6.6) years. There were 43 patients with EC in the upper segment of the esophagus, 115 patients with EC in the middle segment of the esophagus and 38 patients with EC in the lower segment of the esophagus.Results Total operation time was 215-780 (305.0±40.7) minutes,including thoracoscopic operation time of 50-580 (105.0±38.4) minutes and laparoscopic operation time of 28-105 (54.0±8.6) minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was 20-440 (285.4±38.5) ml. The number of dissected lymph nodes was 6-39 (20.4±1.6) for each patient. Postoperative hospital stay was 7-93 (12.8±5.2) days. Sixty patients (30.6%) had postoperative complications,including 28 patients (14.3%) with pulmonary comp-lications,5 patients (2.5%) with chylothorax,5 patients (2.5%) with arrhythmias,15 patients (7.6%) with anastomotic fistula,10 patients (5.0%) with recurrent laryngeal nerve injury,and other complications in 2 patients. Conclusion Thoracoscopic and laparoscopic-assisted minimally invasive McKeown procedure is a safe and feasible operation for esophageal cancer.
