BACKGROUND: The left thoracoabdominal (LTA) approach is the conventional way to treat @entity420 ( @entity3161 ). The study was to review the outcome of the LTA approach with @entity420 of the @entity3161 in a single institution in China. METHODS: 135 consecutive @entity420 of @entity3161 @entity1 who underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed; data gathered included basic information on the @entity5 , surgical approach, @entity260 and survival rate. RESULTS: LTA esophagogastrectomy was performed in all @entity1 . No @entity1 received allogeneic blood transfusion during the operation. Among the resective procedures, proximal gastrectomy was performed in 122 cases. The mean operation time was 150 min (90-240). R(0) resection was obtained in 120 @entity1 (88.9%). Two @entity1 developed @entity1576 2 days after surgery. Contrast swallow revealed a leak at the @entity254 in 2 @entity1 . One early anastomotic stricture was observed radiologically, and @entity55 was observed in 3 @entity1 . The number of @entity1 with @entity5229 and wound @entity281 were 3 and 5, respectively. The percentage was zero in-hospital deaths. The overall survival rates at 1 year and 2 years were 89.2 and 69%, respectively. The median survival was 27.1 months. CONCLUSION: LTA esophagogastrectomy has a major role in the management of @entity420 of the @entity3161 , at least in the northern Henan Province of China.
