One hundred adult patients underwent Ivor Lewis esophagogastrectomy for documented carcinoma of the esophagus from 1980 through 1982. After operation, 7 patients were classified in Stage I, 11 in Stage II, and 82 in Stage III. Major postoperative complications occurred in 27 patients and included pulmonary problems in 11, suture line leak in 9, wound infection in 5, empyema in 4, renal failure in 4, abdominal abscess in 4, bleeding in 2, myocardial infarction in 2, and chylothorax in 1. There were 3 deaths within 30 days of operation. Five-year survival was 85.7% for patients with Stage I disease, 34.1% for patients with Stage II disease (p = .052), and 15.2% for patients with Stage III disease (p = .001). Late morbidity included weight loss in 60 patients, dysphagia in 40, gastroesophageal reflux in 14, and gastroduodenal dumping in 5. Thirty-one patients required postoperative esophageal dilations (mean, 3.4). Most patients, however, were eating without dysphagia at the time of last follow-up or death. We conclude that the Ivor Lewis esophagogastrectomy can be performed with low mortality, can provide adequate palliation, and does result in satisfactory long-term survival for those patients with more favorable postsurgical stages of cancer. These results support the continued use of the Ivor Lewis esophagogastrectomy for treatment of carcinoma of the esophagus.
