• To evaluate the efficacy of tracheobronchial segmental resection and reconstruction applied to surgical treatment in the patients with esophageal cancer with airway invasion. From January 2004 to April 2014, 13 patients in our center underwent radical esophagectomy combined with tracheobronchial segmental resection and reconstruction. Patient characteristics, operative procedures, postoperative complications and long-term survival were retrospectively reviewed. All patients received complete resection (R0) with an average length of resected airway 2.77±0.73 cm. In addition, carinal resection plus lobar resection (including carinal pneumonectomy) was accomplished in 2 patients; 1 patient underwent aortic replacement. Complications were noted in 5 patients (39%) and 2 patients (15.38%) died within 30 days after operation. 4 patients (30.76%) suffered from airway anastomosis stenosis and all 3 of them died within 2 years after operation due to refusing bronchoscopy interventions. The overall 1-, 2-, and 5-year s
