    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Oesophagectomy outcomes were reviewed in 128 patients. Preoperative chemoradiation therapy significantly increased operative mortality for oesophageal disease, while technique errors caused early complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgery
    • Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Oesophagectomy is a critical procedure for benign and malignant oesophageal diseases.
    • Assessing the outcomes, including mortality and morbidity, is essential for surgical improvement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the mortality and morbidity associated with oesophagectomy in a large patient cohort.
    • To identify factors influencing operative mortality and postoperative complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 128 patients undergoing oesophagectomy for benign and malignant oesophageal conditions.
    • Analysis of operative mortality, postoperative complications, and long-term outcomes.
    • Evaluation of factors such as age, sex, surgical approach, and neoadjuvant therapy.

    Main Results:

    • Overall in-hospital mortality was 11 deaths among 128 patients.
    • Operative mortality was not affected by patient age or sex but was significantly higher following neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy.
    • Frequent early postoperative complications were noted, with some linked to technical or approach selection errors.
    • Late complications included aspiration pneumonia and anastomotic recurrence.

    Conclusions:

    • Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy increases oesophagectomy-related operative mortality.
    • Careful technique and operative approach selection are crucial to minimize early complications.
    • Pyloroplasty is recommended when the entire stomach is used for oesophageal replacement.
    • The one-stage gastro-oesophagectomy is not advised for distal oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma or cardia adenocarcinoma.
