Objective: This study was performed to investigate the efficacy of the modified Collard (MC)
technique for reducing anastomotic stricture after esophagectomy compared with the circular …

The anastomotic technique after esophagectomy is of great interest in the prevention of
anastomotic complications that adversely affect postoperative recovery. This study aimed to …

Background Several studies have reported that modified Collard anastomosis is useful for
cervical anastomosis after esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal cancer. However, no …

Stapled esophagogastric anastomosis after esophagectomy is considered to be superior to
traditional handsewn techniques. Linear staplers are usually used. The aim of this study is to …

Background: The standard treatment for esophageal carcinoma is extensive resection of the
tumor and esophagogastric anastomosis despite the high incidence of related anastomotic …

Background The optimal technique for cervical esophagogastric anastomosis in
esophagectomy has not yet been established. Using circular stapled (CS) technique …

Background This study was performed to verify the superiority of a new “non-tensioning
method” for avoiding stricture of the cervical esophagogastric anastomosis by circular …

Background The delta-shaped anastomosis has been reported to reduce anastomotic
complications for a decade. However, little has been written comparing this technique with …

BACKGROUND: Cervical esophagogastric anastomosis after esophagectomy is often
troubled with anastomotic leak resulting in local sepsis, postoperative stricture, and …

Cervical esophagogastric anastomoses are commonly used for reconstruction after
esophagectomy because of the lower mortality rate associated with an anastomotic leak …
