    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Entre octobre 1967 et août 1976, 84 malades ont eu une oesophagogastrostomie par invagination postérieure en un temps, sans changement de position peropératoire. Depuis 1971, la technique a été appliquée à 32 cancers des tiers supérieur et moyen de l'oesophage thoracique. L'anastomose a été faite dans le cou chez 27 malades et dans la cavité thoracique chez 5 (1 supra-aortique, 2 au niveau de l'arc aortique et 2 à son bord inférieur). Dans les suites opératoires, il n'y a eu ni lâchage de l'anastomose, ni hémo-, chyloou pyothorax. Six malades (18.8%) sont morts pendant le premier mois postopératoire d'insuffisance circulatoire ou de complications pulmonaires. Chez 4 malades, une sténose s'est formée au niveau de l'anastomose; dans tous les cas, elle a été levée par dilatation ou opération sous anesthésie locale. Sur les 32 cancers des tiers supérieur et moyen de l'oesophage thoracique, 17 ont survécu 6 mois, 6 ont survécu 3 ans et 4 sont encore en vie après 4 ans. Les examens postopératoires du système nerveux autonome et des fonctions cardiopulmonaires n'ont révélé aucune anomalie. Dans le postopératoire précoce, l'absorption des lipides et de la vitamine B12 est fortement perturbée, mais ce trouble se corrige dans la suite.
    Notes: Abstract From October 1967 to August 1976 posterior invagination esophagogastrostomy in 1 stage without positional change was performed on 84 patients. Since 1971 this method has been extended to include 32 cases of cancer of the upper and middle thirds of the thoracic esophagus. The anastomosis was constructed in the neck in 27 patients, and in the thoracic cavity in 5 patients (1 supra-aortic, 2 at the level of the aortic arch, and 2 at the level of the inferior margin of the aortic arch). There were no instances of postoperative anastomotic leakage, hemothorax, chylothorax or pyothorax. Six of these patients (18.8%) died of circulatory insufficiency or pulmonary complications within 1 month of operation. Postoperative esophageal stenosis occurred at the site of anastomosis in 4 patients and was relieved by bougienage dilatation or operation under local anesthesia. Of the 32 patients with lesions in the upper and middle thoracic esophagus, 17 survived for 6 months after operation, 6 have lived for at least 3 years, and 4 are still alive after 4 years. Postoperative examinations of autonomic nervous system and cardiopulmonary functions revealed no abnormalities. In the early postoperative period, lipid and Vitamin B 12 absorption was markedly disturbed but returned to normal levels by the time of the follow-up studies.

    Notes: Abstract Three Japanese patients with von Recklinghausen’s disease and malignant changes were studied. The primary lesions of malignant changes were the chest wall in Case 1, the buttock in Case 2, and the neck in Case 3. After excision of the tumors, there were local recurrences in Cases 1 and 2. Distant metastases developed during treatment in these patients. One of the patients (Case 1) died 21 months after the initial diagnosis of malignancy. Multidisciplinary treatment was of some value in suppressing local recurrences and pulmonary metastases in Case 2. Pulmonary metastases were evident at the time of admission to our hospital in Case 3. Although the primary and metastatic tumors were removed, the patient died 8 months after the initial diagnosis of malignancy. We conclude that careful follow-up should be required in patients with von Recklinghausen’s disease because of the possibility of malignant changes. When there is a suspicion of malignancy, an extended en-block excision must be performed.
