    Abstract Thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position is associated with better surgical ergonomics compared to the left lateral decubitus position due to the effects of gravity pooling blood outside the operative field and the reduced need for lung retraction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological effects of prone thoracoscopic esophagectomy with single-lumen intubation on ventilation, respiratory gas exchange, and cardiovascular parameters. Thirty-two consecutive patients underwent esophagectomy either through a prone thoracoscopic approach or through a right thoracotomic approach. Samples of arterial and central venous blood, as well as ventilation and cardiovascular parameters were obtained at baseline, during induction of anesthesia, throughout the operation, and after extubation. Patients undergoing prone thoracoscopic esophagectomy showed higher oxygenation levels (p < 0.001), and a significantly lower mean pulmonary shunt fraction (p = 0.001). Perioperative hemodynamics remained stable throughout the surgical procedures. Thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position with two-lung ventilation was associated with a significant improvement of global oxygen delivery and a significant reduction of the pulmonary shunt when compared to the Ivor Lewis operation.

    Abstract Primary giant cell tumors of the chest wall are extremely rare. To date, we believe that there have been no reported cases of sternal giant cell tumors in the thoracic literature. We report a case of an isolated giant cell tumor of the sternum in a 28-year-old man. The mass was resected and the sternum was reconstructed with methyl methacrylate prosthesis and bilateral pectoralis muscle advancement flaps. Excellent functional and aesthetic results were achieved.

    Abstract Aim: To assess the effectiveness of minimally invasive versus traditional open surgical approach in the treatment of Zenker diverticulum.
    Methods: Between 1976 and 2006, 297 patients underwent transoral stapling (n = 181) or stapled diverticulectomy and cricopharyngeal myotomy (n = 116). Subjective and objective evaluations of the outcome of the two procedures were made at 1 and 6 mo after operation, and then every year. Long-term follow-up data were available for a subgroup of patients at a minimum of 5 and 10 years.
    Results: The operative time and hospital stay were markedly reduced in patients undergoing the endosurgical approach. Overall, 92% of patients undergoing the endosurgical approach and 94% of those undergoing the open approach were symptom-free or were significantly improved after a median follow-up of 27 and 48 mo, respectively. At a minimum follow-up of 5 and 10 years, most patients were asymptomatic after both procedures, except for those individuals undergoing an endosurgical procedure for a small diverticulum (< 3 cm).
    Conclusion: Both operations relieve the outflow obstruction at the pharyngoesophageal junction, indicating that cricopharyngeal myotomy has an important therapeutic role in this disease independent of the resection of the pouch and of the surgical approach. Diverticula smaller than 3 cm represent a formal contraindication to the endosurgical approach because the common wall is too short to accommodate one cartridge of staples and to allow complete division of the sphincter.

    Abstract Aim: To compare 2 different types of covered esophageal nitinol stents (Ultraflex and Choostent) in terms of efficacy, complications, and long-term outcome.
    Methods: A retrospective review of a consecutive series of 65 patients who underwent endoscopic placement of an Ultraflex stent (n = 33) or a Choostent (n = 32) from June 2001 to October 2009 was conducted.
    Results: Stent placement was successful in all patients without hospital mortality. No significant differences in patient discomfort and complications were observed between the Ultraflex stent and Choostent groups. The median follow-up time was 6 mo (inter-quartile range 3-16 mo). Endoscopic reintervention was required in 9 patients (14%) because of stent migration or food obstruction. No significant difference in the rate of reintervention between the 2 groups was observed (P = 0.8). The mean dysphagia score 1 mo after stent placement was 1.9 +/- 0.3 for the Ultraflex stent and 2.1 +/- 0.4 for the Choostent (P = 0.6). At 1-mo follow-up endoscopy, the cover membrane of the stent appeared to be damaged more frequently in the Choostent group (P = 0.34). Removal of the Choostent was possible up to 8 wk without difficulty.
    Conclusion: Ultraflex and Choostent proved to be equally reliable for palliation of dysphagia and leaks. Removal of the Choostent was easy and safe under mild sedation.

    Abstract Introduction: Practitioners have noted a striking increase in the number of young patients under the age of 40 years old who develop esophageal adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to characterize the presentation, pathology and therapeutic outcome of these young patients.
    Methods: The records of patients who presented to the Foregut Surgical Service at the University of Southern California with esophageal adenocarcinoma between 2000 and 2007 were retrospectively reviewed. The presentation, tumor stage and histology, therapy and outcome of the patients under the age of 40 were compared to those ≥40.
    Results: Of the 374 patients reviewed, 20 (5 %) were under the age of 40. There were two patients in their second and 18 in their third decade of life. The youngest patient was 25 years old. A history of gastroesophageal reflux disease or Barrett's esophagus was less common in patients <40 than in those ≥40; 15 and 5 % compared to 61 and 46 %. Similarly, patients <40 had a significantly longer time interval between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis of their cancer than those ≥40; 4.5 vs. 2 months, p = 0.04. They also had a higher prevalence of stage IV disease (30 vs. 6 %, p = 0.0003), a shorter time to recurrence (9.5 vs.19 month, p = 0.002), and a poorer median survival (17 vs. 43 month, p = 0.04).
    Conclusion: Esophageal adenocarcinoma in patients <40 years old commonly presents with an advanced stage of the disease and an associated poor survival. This is likely due to a low index of suspicion that dysphagia seen in younger patients is due to a malignancy.

    Abstract Unlabelled: Knowledge of the risk of lymph node metastases is critical to planning therapy for T1 esophageal adenocarcinoma. This study retrospectively reviews 75 T1a and 51 T1b tumors and correlates lymph node metastases with depth of tumor invasion, tumor size, presence of lymphovascular invasion, and tumor grade.
    Objectives: Increasingly, patients with superficial esophageal adenocarcinoma are being treated endoscopically or with limited surgical resection techniques. Since no lymph nodes are removed with these therapies, it is critical to have a clear understanding of the risk of lymph node metastases in these patients. The aim of this study was to define the risk of lymph node metastases for intramucosal and submucosal (T1) esophageal adenocarcinoma and to analyze factors potentially associated with an increased risk of lymph node involvement.
    Methods: We reanalyzed the pathology specimens of all patients that had primary esophagectomy for T1 adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus or gastroesophageal junction from January 1985 to December 2008. The prevalence of lymph node metastases was correlated with tumor size, depth of invasion, presence of lymphovascular invasion, and degree of tumor differentiation.
    Results: There were 126 patients, 102 men (81%) and 24 women (19%), with a mean age of 64 (± 10) years. Tumor invasion was limited to the mucosa (T1a) in 75 patients (60%), whereas submucosal invasion (T1b) was present in 51 patients (40%). Tumors that had poor differentiation, lymphovascular invasion, and size ≥2 cm were significantly more likely to be invasive into the submucosa. Lymph node metastases were rare (1.3%) with intramucosal tumors but increased significantly with submucosal tumor invasion (22%)[P = 0.0003]. Lymph node metastases were also significantly associated with poor differentiation (P = 0.0015), lymphovascular invasion (P < 0.0001), and tumor size ≥2 cm (P = 0.01). Division of the submucosa into thirds did not show a layer with a significantly decreased prevalence of node metastases.
    Conclusions: Adenocarcinoma invasive deeper than the muscularis mucosa is associated with a significant increase in the prevalence of lymph node metastases,and there is no "safe" level of invasion into the submucosa. Lymphovascular invasion, tumor size ≥2 cm, and poor differentiation are associated with an increased risk of submucosal invasion and lymph node metastases and should be factored into the decision for endoscopic therapy or esophagectomy

    Abstract Background: Concern over potential injury to the anastomosis has limited the use of early postoperative endoscopy to diagnose conduit ischemia or anastomotic breakdown. Alternatively, a computed tomography (CT) scan has been suggested as a noninvasive means for identifying these complications. This study aimed to compare CT scan with early endoscopy for diagnosing gastric conduit ischemia or anastomotic breakdown after esophagectomy with cervical esophagogastrostomy.
    Methods: Between 2000 and 2007, 554 patients underwent an esophagectomy and gastric pull-up with cervical esophagogastrostomy at the University of Southern California. Records were reviewed to identify patients who had undergone endoscopy and CT scan within 24 h of each other during the first three postoperative weeks for suspicion of an ischemic conduit or anastomotic breakdown. The accuracies of CT scan and endoscopy in diagnosing an ischemic conduit were compared.
    Results: A total of 76 patients had endoscopy and CT scan for clinical suspicion of conduit ischemia or anastomotic breakdown. Endoscopy was performed without complications in all 76 patients. The postoperative endoscopic findings were normal in 24 of the patients, and none subsequently experienced an ischemic conduit or anastomotic breakdown. Evidence of ischemia was present in 28 patients, 7 of whom had black mucosa throughout the gastric conduit with the anastomosis still intact and required removal of their conduit. The remaining 24 patients had partial or complete anastomotic breakdown. On the CT scan, 23 of the 76 patients showed evidence of conduit ischemia (n = 9) or anastomotic breakdown (n = 14). There was no evidence of ischemia or anastomotic breakdown on CT scan for the 24 patients with normal endoscopy or for 3 of the 7 patients who had their conduit removed for graft necrosis.
    Conclusion: A normal CT scan does not rule out the possibility of an ischemic gastric conduit after esophagectomy. Early endoscopy is a safe and accurate method for assessing conduit ischemia.

    Abstract Background: Patients with respiratory and laryngeal symptoms are commonly referred for evaluation of reflux disease as a potential cause. Dual-probe pH monitoring is often performed, although data on normal acid exposure in the proximal esophagus are limited because of the small number of normal subjects and inconsistent placement of the proximal pH sensor in relation to the upper esophageal sphincter. We measured proximal esophageal acid exposure using dual-probe pH and calculated a composite pH score in a large number of asymptomatic volunteers to better define normal values.
    Study design: Eighty-one normal subjects free of reflux, laryngeal, or respiratory symptoms were recruited. All had video esophagraphy to exclude hiatal hernia. Esophageal pH monitoring was performed using 1 of 3 different dual-probe catheters with sensors spaced 10, 15, or 18 cm apart. The standard components of esophageal acid exposure were measured, excluding meal periods. A composite pH score for the proximal esophagus was calculated using these components.
    Results: The final study population consisted of 59 (49% male) subjects, with a median age of 27 years. All had normal distal esophageal acid exposure and no hiatal hernia. The 95(th) percentile values for the percent time the pH was < 4 for the total, upright, and supine periods were 0.9%, 1.2%, and 0.4%, respectively. The 95(th) percentile for the number of reflux episodes was 24 and for the calculated proximal esophageal composite pH score was 16.4.
    Conclusions: In a large population of normal subjects, we have defined the normal values and calculated a composite pH score for proximal esophageal acid exposure. The total percent time pH < 4 was similar to previously published normal values, but the number of reflux episodes was greater.

    Abstract Background: To determine the optimal follow-up strategy after esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction by evaluating the timing of recurrence and the method that first detected the recurrence.
    Study design: Between 1991 and 2007, 590 patients had an esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma. Recurrence occurred in 233 (40%) and, of those, 174 had complete follow-up at our center with a protocol that consisted of an office visit with CT scans and laboratory studies every 3 months for 3 years, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually. A subset of patients had PET annually.
    Results: Recurrence in the 174 patients with complete follow-up was systemic in 104 (60%), locoregional/nodal in 51 (30%), and both in 19 (10%). Recurrence was first suspected by symptoms and/or physical examination in 29 patients (17%), by CT scan in 105 (60%), PET in 32 (18%), and by elevated CEA in 8 (5%). Recurrence was detected at a median of 11 months (range 3 to 72 months) and occurred later after esophagectomy alone compared with patients who received neoadjuvant therapy (12 versus 8 months; p = 0.01), but the pattern of recurrence was similar. More than 90% of recurrences were detected within 2 years after neoadjuvant therapy, compared with 3 years after esophagectomy alone. Median survival after recurrence was 7 months and was significantly longer in patients treated for the recurrence (9 versus 3 months; p = 0.001).
    Conclusions: Frequent early follow-up is appropriate after esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma because >90% of recurrences will occur by 3 years after esophagectomy alone and by 2 years following neoadjuvant therapy. Beyond these time periods, 2% to 3% of recurrences were detected each year, suggesting that annual follow-up is adequate. Survival after recurrence was improved with therapy, confirming the use of careful follow-up in these patients.
