Effect of recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph node dissection before esophageal dissocia-tion on prognosis in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of thoracic esophageal cancer
Objective To explore the effect of recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph node dissection before esophageal dissociation on the prognosis in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of thoracic esophageal cancer.Methods 80 patients with esopha-geal cancer who underwent thoracoscopic radical resection of esophageal cancer in the hospital were selected as the study subjects,and were divided into experimental group and control group by the random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.The experimental group adopted recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph node dissection and then dissociated the esophagus,and the control group firstly dissociated the esophagus and then performed recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph node dissection.The differences in treat-ment-related indicators(surgical time,abdominal drainage time,chest tube indwelling time,hospital stay)and incidence rates of complications(recurrent laryngeal nerve injury,anastomotic fistula,arrhythmia,respiratory failure,chylothorax)within 1 month af-ter surgery were compared.Results The surgical time in experimental group was significantly longer than that in control group(P<0.05),but there were no statistically significant differences in abdominal drainage time,chest tube indwelling time and hospital stay between the two groups(P>0.05).The incidence rate of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in experimental group was significantly low-er than that in control group(P<0.05).There were no statistical differences in the incidence rates of arrhythmia,anastomotic fistula,respiratory failure and chylothorax between the two groups(all P>0.05).Conclusion During thoracoscopic radical resection of esophageal cancer,recurrent nerve lymph node dissection followed by esophageal dissociation can reduce the risk of complications and facilitate the postoperative recovery.
