摘要: 对食管癌进行系统性的淋巴结清扫是提高手术根治率及术后长期生存率的关键，改善外科治疗的长期效果。食管全系膜切除是基于食管系膜的组织胚胎学、解剖学特点提出的新的概念，强调完整的切除食管及其周围血管、脂肪组织，有望成为食管癌手术的质量控制标准。
Abstract:
Systemic lymph node dissection helps increase the radical resection rate and the distant prognosis of esophageal cancer. Total mesoesophagus resection is a new concept based on embryology and anatomy of mesoesophagus which emphasize complete dissection including esophagus and peripheral vessels and fatty tissue. It is hoped to become quality control standard of esophagectomy.
