Background: Routine contrast esophagram has been shown to be increasingly limited in diagnosing anastomotic leaks after esophagectomy.
Methods: Patients undergoing esophagectomy from 2013 to 2014 at Huai'an First Peoples' Hospital were identified. We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent routine contrast esophagram on postoperative day 7 (range 6-10) to preclude anastomotic leaks after esophagectomy.
