Objective To compare and analyze the short-term efficacy of different surgical methods for Siewert type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ esophagogastric junction carcinoma.Methods We selected 82 patients who accepted radical resection of esophagogastric junction carcinoma from March 2015 to March 2018 in our department, including 53 males and 29 females, aged 48-72 (61±6) years. The patients were divided into four groups according to the surgical method: a left thoracotomy group (n=14), a laparoscopic left small thoracotomy group (n=33), a thoracoscopic Ivor-Lewis group (n=17), and a thoracoscopic McKeown group (n=18). Their clinical characteristics, operative situations, postoperative complications and survival rate were analyzed.Results Among the four groups, the left thoracotomy group cost the shortest operation time, followed by laparoscopic left small thoracotomy group, thoracoscopic McKeown group and thoracoscopic Ivor-Lewis group. The thoracoscopic McKeown group/laparoscopic left small thoracotomy group had the least bleeding. The fewest lymph nodes were dissected in the left thoracotomy group and the most in the thoracoscopic​​​​​​​ McKeown group. The laparoscopic left small thoracotomy group had the lowest total complication rate and the incidence of pneumonia and arrhythmia among the four groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in survival rate among the four groups (P>0.05).Conclusion For Siewert type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ esophagogastric junction carcinoma, thoracoscopy combined with laparoscopic radical resection is safe and reliable. Laparoscopic left small thoracotomy has the advantages of minimal invasiveness and complete lymph node dissection, especially for the patients with poor cardiopulmonary function, which will significantly shorten operation time and reduce postoperative complications, so it is worth to be popularized.
