Minimally invasive surgical techniques for oesophageal cancer and nutritional recovery: a prospective population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To explore whether the minimally invasive oesophagectomy (MIE) or hybrid minimally invasive oesophagectomy (HMIE) are associated with better nutritional status and less weight loss 1 year after surgery, compared with open oesophagectomy (OE).

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

All patients undergoing oesophagectomy for cancer in Sweden during 2013-2018.

Participants

A total of 424 patients alive at 1 year after surgery were eligible, and 281 completed the 1-year assessment. Of these, 239 had complete clinical data and were included in the analysis.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

The primary outcome was nutritional status at 1 year after surgery, assessed using the abbreviated Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment questio
