Modified Collard versus end-to-side hand-sewn anastomosis for cervical anastomosis after McKeown esophagectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

According to previously published studies, esophagectomy with modified Collard anastomosis has been reported to have low incidences of anastomotic leak and stricture. However, the optional anastomotic method after esophagectomy is still controversial. We conducted this study to compare the incidence of postoperative anastomotic stricture formation and dysphagia over three years after an esophagectomy with modified Collard anastomosis (MC) or end-to-side (ETS) hand-sewn anastomosis. Meanwhile, the early postoperative anastomotic leakage and other complications, hospital stay and 30- and 90-day mortality were also evaluated.

Methods

The clinical data of 905 patients undergoing McKeown esophagectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The rate of postoperative stricture f
