  • Title: [Prophylaxis of post-operative pneumonia after surgery for cancer of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction].
    Author: Kavaĭkin AG, Chichevatov DA.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 2007; 53(4):436-8. PubMed ID: 17969406.
    Abstract:
    Purulent endobronchitis was identified as a significant causative factor of post-operative development of pneumonia in 113 patients operated on for cancer of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction. Development of purulent endobronchitis was in turn influenced by extent of lymph node dissection. Timely catheterization and sanitation of the trachea and bronchi are a major tool of treatment.
