Combined total gastrectomy, total esophagectomy, and D2 lymph node dissection with transverse colonic interposition for adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction

Abstract: The surgical treatment of adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) is complex. A large tumor involving a substantial portion of both the esophagus and stomach requires complete resection with negative proximal and distal margins as well as D2 lymph node dissection. Some investigators have found that patients who do not undergo radical resection have a worse prognosis; however, more aggressive surgical treatments are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We describe our operative techn… Show more

“…9,22,23 When the tumor invades both esophagus and stomach, esophagectomy with total gastrectomy is an option because it promises both free margins and adequate lymphadenectomy. 24,25 However it is associated with more invasive surgery and morbidity. Our current study should help surgeons to decide whether gastric tube reconstruction or gastrectomy is necessary from the point of view of abdominal lymphadenectomy.…”

“…Therefore, we performed a total esophagectomy with total gastrectomy if an esophageal macroscopic tumor-free margin of less than 10 cm was determined while in surgery [19][20][21][22] . The aforementioned situation is why patients with EGJ cancer should be prepared for an eventual TEG and colon interposition plus an extended lymph node dissection (D2), due to the frequent lymph node metastasis of groups 1, 2, 3 and 7 of the Japanese classifications [6,7,23] . A second group of patients in whom the indication of TEG is clearer, are those who have a concomitant esophageal and gastric cancer (double cancer).…”

“…Considering national series, only series of less than 20 patients with EGJ cancer have been published to date [7][8][9] . The main objectives of this study are: (1) to review the post-operative morbidity and mortality of TEG D2 with interposition of a transverse colon; and (2) to determine the oncological outcomes of TEG D2 with interposition of a transverse colon.…”

“…Twenty studies were retrospective and 3 were prospective. 7,9,10 There were no randomized studies, but 7 studies compared COI results with those following the use of stomach as conduit. The overall study grading was low (grade C).…”
