Zusammenfassung

Grundlagen

Thorakoskopische Eingriffe an der Speiseröhre sind noch keine Routine: die Dissektion beim Ösophaguskarzinom ist umstritten, gutartige Erkrankungen stellen zunehmend ein Indikationsgebiet für die minimal invasive Chirurgie dar.

Methodik

Eine 69jährige Patientin mit einem im mittleren Thorax liegenden Ösophagusdivertikel klagt über zunehmende Dysphagie und Regurgitationsbeschwerden. Als Operationsverfahren wird die thorakoskopische Resektion gewählt: In Doppellumenintubation Thorakoskopie rechts über 5 Trokare (15 mm Thoracoport®, 10 mm, 3×5 mm). Inzision der mediastinalen Pleura und Präparation des Divertikels unter Schonung des Nervus vagus. Resektion mit dem Endo-GIA® 60 und Endo-Einzelknopfnähte der Ösophagusmuskulatur und der Pleura.

Ergebnisse

Der postoperative Verlauf sowie die langfristigen Kontrollen waren sowohl klinisch als auch radiologisch unauffällig, die Patientin war subjektiv beschwerdefrei.

Schlußfolgerungen

Die Abtragung thorakaler Ösophagusdivertikel stellt eine Indikation für die minimal invasive Thoraxchirurgie dar.

Summary

Background

The thoracoscopic approach to the esophagus has not yet become a routine procedure. The criteria for endoscopic dissection are still a matter of controversy in esophageal carcinoma. In benign disease, however, the use of minimal invasive surgery increases.

Methods

A 69-year old woman, suffering from dysphagia and regurgitation caused by a 4 cm midthoracic esophageal diverticulum, was admitted to thoracoscopic resection. Using 5 open valved trocars (15 mm Thoracoport®, 10 mm, 3×5 mm), the right mediastinal pleura was incised to explore and dissect the esophagus with the diverticulum. Particular care was taken to preserve the vagus nerve. Resection was performed with a single magazine of the Endo-GIA® 60, muscle layers and pleura were closed with interrupted endoscopic sutures.

Results

The postoperative course was uneventful and the following check-ups by X-ray showed normal morphology and function of the esophagus. The patient recovered rapidly and did not report any subjective impairment.

Conclusions

Thoracoscopy ought to be considered as first line approach for resection of thoracic esophageal diverticula.
