To clarify risk factors and long-term progress of postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (PRNP) in patients with esophageal cancer.
One hundred and twenty-five esophageal cancer patients, who underwent subtotal esophagetomy, including recurrent laryngeal nerve lymphadenectomy, were analyzed. A laryngoscopy was routinely performed to assess the motility of vocal cords.
PRNP was detected in 79 patients and 26 (20.8%) patients required medical interventions (Grade II or more by the Clavien-Dindo classification; group II). Forty-one of 66 (62.1%) patients recovered from PRNP with a median postoperative time of 135 days. The three-field lymphadenectomy and long operative time were the independent prognostic factors of group II.
Radical operation caused PRNP with grade II or more. The long-term follow-up of vocal cords was necessary to detect patients with either transient or permanent PRNP.
明确食管癌患者术后喉返神经麻痹(PRNP)的危险因素及长期进展情况。
对125例行食管次全切除术(包括喉返神经淋巴结清扫术)的食管癌患者进行分析。常规行喉镜检查以评估声带活动度。
79例患者检测出PRNP,26例(20.8%)患者需要医疗干预(根据Clavien-Dindo分类为II级或更高;II组)。66例患者中的41例(62.1%)PRNP恢复,术后中位时间为135天。三野淋巴结清扫术和手术时间长是II组的独立预后因素。
根治性手术导致II级或更高等级的PRNP。对声带进行长期随访对于发现短暂性或永久性PRNP患者很有必要。
