Objective To explore the effect of nutrient tube anterograde catheterization during Ivor-Lewis esophagus cancer operation.
Methods A total of 68 cases with Ivor-Lewis esophageal cancer were included in the study, among whom 35 cases with nutrient tube anterograde placement were as observation group, and 33 cases with jejunostomy were as control group.
Results Compared with control group, observation group had shorter catheterization time during operation and earlier recovery of exhaust after operation (P < 0.05); there were no significant differences in postoperative anastomotic leakage, pulmonary infection, arrhythmia, intestinal obstruction; observation group had higher comfort scores than control group(P < 0.05).
Conclusion nutrition tube anterograde placement during Ivor-Lewis esophageal cancer surgery is a safe, and effective method, and it is more acceptable to patients.
