Laparoscopic-assisted Esophageal Bypass for T4b Esophageal Tumor as a Bridge to Definitive Therapy.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND/AIM:Esophagobronchial fistula is a common complication of advanced esophageal cancer, related to respiratory distress and mortality. Esophageal bypass has been successfully utilized for palliation, as bridging to definitive chemoradiotherapy. The aim of this study is to present an extremely difficult case of a mid-esophageal squamous cell carcinoma complicated with aerodigestive fistula that was treated using 3D laparoscopic-assisted esophageal bypass with curative intent. CASE REPORT:A 49-year-old female patient presented with T4b esophageal-squamous cell carcinoma and esophagobronchial fistula. Laparoscopic-assisted V-shaped retrosternal esophageal bypass using a gastric conduit was started, which was converted to open surgery due to respiratory distress. The patient was able to undergo chemoradiotherapy treatment. CONCLUSION:3D laparoscopic-assisted esophageal bypass can be a safe and feasible approach in patients with advanced mid-esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophagobroncial fistula. Additionally to the advantages of laparoscopic surgery, this operation permits oral feeding, and can be used with possible curative intent in patients with adequate response to chemoradiotherapy.
