ObjectiveTo compare the antireflux effects of lip reinforcement, His angle reconstruction with fundoplication, and mechanical anastomosis only in mechanical anastomosis for esophageal and cardiac carcinoma. MethodsOne hundred and seventysix patients with esophageal or cardiac carcinoma admitted to this hospital between March 2008 and October 2009 were included, which were divided into mechanical anastomosis group (n=42), His angle reconstruction group(n=56), and lip reinforcement group (n=78) according to the sequence of admission. Mechanical anastomosis only, mechanical anastomosis His angle reconstruction with fundoplication, and mechanical anastomosis liptype reinforcement were performed in the corresponding group, respectively. Endoscopy and biopsy were conducted to evaluate the antireflux effects on 3 months after operation. ResultsThere were no differences on the gender, age, tumor location, anastomosis site, and incision among three groups (P gt;0.05). The reflux rates of the mechanical anastomosis group, His angle reconstruction group, and lip reinforcement group were 69.05%, 28.57%, and 14.10%, respectively. The reflux rates in the lip reinforcement group and His angle reconstruction group were significantly lower than those in the mechanical anastomosis group (χ2=37.088, P=0.000; χ2=15.833, P=0.000), moreover, the rate in the lip reinforcement group was significantly lower than that in the His angle reconstruction group (χ2=4.241, P=0.039). There was no anastomotic leakage in the lip reinforcement group and all patients safely discharged from hospital after surgery, only 2 patients had moderately anastomotic stenosis and both of them had good recovery with endoscopic dilatationl. The reflux after operation was independent of anastomosis sites (P gt;0.05). ConclusionBoth liptype reinforcement and His angle reconstruction can improve the ability of antireflux, liptype reinforcement is better and simple to mainpulate.
