Great advances have been made in the surgical management of esophageal disease since
the first description of esophageal resection in 1913. We are in the era of minimally invasive …

Objective To investigate the characteristics and predictors for anastomotic leakage after
oesophagectomy for oesophageal carcinoma from the perspective of anastomotic level …

The cervical anastomotic leak is a major complication of transhiatal esophagectomy and
results in chronic strictures in up to half of patients. A change in postoperative protocol to …

Objectives Anastomotic complications represent a significant source of morbidity and
occasionally mortality after esophagectomy. Since 2009, we have used a novel “side-to …

OBJECTIVES In our previous study, early oral feeding following McKeown minimally
invasive oesophagectomy (MIE) has been shown to be a safe and a feasible approach for …

Background Anastomotic stricture following esophagogastrectomy (EG) can lead to
significant dysphagia, necessitating interventions such as endoscopic dilatation. These post …

Background Esophagogastric anastomosis performed after esophagectomy is technically
complex and often the source of postoperative complications. The best technique for this …

Background Anastomotic leaks (AL) cause significant morbidity after esophagectomy. Most
patients receive neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NCR) prior to esophagectomy which has …

Very limited data is present which compares completely linear stapled to handsewn cervical
esophagogastric anastomosis. Primary objective was to determine whether linearly stapled …
