[Quality of life in the aged after surgery. IV. Pathology of the esophagus].

Following a careful examination of the literature on the subject, the authors examine the follow-up records of all patients operated over the past 10 years for non-neoplastic and neoplastic esophageal pathologies. From the results it emerged that all those operated for non-neoplastic pathologies were still living and their quality of life was good with a very high proportion of patients presenting a score of 100 for Karnofsky's index. With regard to neoplastic forms, on the other hand, many patients had died (approximately 50%), but the majority of those living, who had undergone gastro-esophageal resection and consequent esophago-gastrostomy with thoracization of the stomach, were well with a Karnofsky score of 100. The authors explain these results by taking into account the general conditions (biological age) of patients and conclude that surgery is advisable in both non-neoplastic and neoplastic forms, given that it is important to try to improve the quality of life even in the latter.
