“…The stomach is then brought up into the chest for an esophagogastrostomy at the apex of the thoracic cavity. This approach is preferred because of its simplicity, an adequate proximal esophageal margin can be obtained, and a low anastomotic leakage rate (around 3% – clinical and radiological) negates the potential advantages of cervical anastomosis, where an anastomotic leak in the neck is usually easier to manage [7]. The higher rate of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy when a cervical phase is added is also avoided.…”

“…In our opinion the key in management is adequate and effective drainage. Previous studies have revealed that most of the mediastinal abscesses were in contained leaks [18][19][20]. It is difficult to deal with this type of abscess by the conventional chest tube.…”

“…A nyelőcsőanastomosis-elégtelenség gyakorisága a nyaki anastomosisoknál 4-34%, az intrathoracalis szakaszon 5-17%, a distalis szakaszon 0,5-11% [1,2,[15][16][17][18][19]. A nyaki anastomosisok esetében nyálsipoly, perioesophagealis phlegmone, abscessus alakulhat ki.…”

“…A súlyosabb phlegmonéval, abscessussal járó esetek műtéti kezelést igényelnek. Az intrathoracalis szakaszon kialakuló insufficientiák mediastinitist, mellüregi empyemát okozva magas mortalitást (50-70%) eredményeznek [1][2][3][15][16][17][18], általában reoperációt tesznek szükségessé. Az alsó harmadi és abdominalis nyelőcsőszakaszon ké-szült anastomosisok elégtelensége kapcsán peritonitis, abdominalis abscessus, ritkán oesophago/enterocutan sipolyok alakulhatnak ki, a mortalitás 25-30% a közlések szerint [1,2,4,16,[20][21][22][23].…”
