  • Application of CORFLO Feeding Tube after Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Ivor Lewis Esophagogastrectomy for Esophageal Cancer and Cardiac Adenocarcinoma

    ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of CORFLO feeding tube in enternal nutrition after video-assisted thoracoscopic Ivor Lewis esophagogastrectomy for esophageal cancer and cardiac adenocarcinoma. MethodsA total of 107 patients with esophageal cancer and cardiac adenocarcinoma undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic Ivor Lewis esophagectomy or resection of cardiac adenocarcinoma in our department between October 2014 and January 2016 were enrolled, among whom 10 patients received jejunostomy and 97 patients (60 males, 37 females, median age of 66 years, range, 47-75 years) received the insertion of CORFLO feeding tubes. ResultsIn 97 cases with insertion of feeding tubes, median insertion time was 7 (3-11) min and median depth was 83 (75-90) cm. The first-attempt success rate during the operation was 77.3% (75/97), and the second attempt at the bedside postoperatively was successful in 8 cases. The overall success rate was 85.6% (83/97). Insertion was successful in 77 esophageal cancer patients and 6 cardiac adenocarcinoma patients. Conclusion Blind insertion of CORFLO feeding tube in video-assisted thoracoscopic Ivor Lewis esophagogastrectomy for esophageal cancer and cardiac adenocarcinoma is feasible and safe. This noninvasive method is simple, effective and repeatable.
