Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to figure out the possibility of the bypass operation in esophageal cancer which is impossible to be cured radically and its effect on the survival rate and quality of life of the patients. In recent years, the incidence of esophageal cancer has been increasing thus there are many problems occurring in keeping the quality of life. Especially gastrostomy is done in order to improve dysphagia in esophageal cancer patients who missed the optimal operation time, but the patients are suffering themselves due to the psychological burden about the gastrostomy and mental factors to miss the time and even some of them require the operation in those situations. We studied three patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer (impossible to be cured radically) from March 2021 to March 2022. All the patients were males, and the average age was 53.3 years. All of them had end-stage esophageal cancer and among them, two were T3N2M0 and the other one was T3N2M1. We concluded that radical cure by esophagotomy was impossible and bypass operation (single-style esophageal plasty using small intestine) was performed. On discharge, we evaluated the satisfaction of the patients about the operation, postoperative survival duration, and the quality of life by WHOQOL-100. After operation, the patients’ quality of life has been improved and the survival duration has been elongated from six months in the past to 12.7 months. Esophageal bypass operation by single-style esophageal plasty is an effective treatment to keep the patients’ quality of life, who has esophageal cancer impossible to be incised and increase the survival duration.

Keywords: esophageal cancer, esophageal plasty, bypass, quality of life, small intestine, dysphagia, psychological burden, mental factors
