Objective: To identify the influencing factors of pulmonary infections after transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.
Methods: A retrospective review of 349 patients undergoing transthoracic esophagectomy at our hospital for esophageal cancer was performed between January and December 2009. The postoperative pneumonia rate was examined and 26 perioperative factors possibly affecting the postoperative respiratory complications were collected. Ridge regression modeling was performed to determine if a significant association existed between perioperative factors and postoperative pneumonia.
Results: The postoperative pneumonia rate of all patients was 27.8%. Eight perioperative factors were found to have affected significantly the postoperative respiratory complications. The influencing factors included (according to contribution): patient control epidural analgesia (PCEA), diabetes, general anesthesia plus epidural analgesia, other postoperative complications, one lung ventilation (OLV), transfusion volume of red blood cells (RBC), body mass index (BMI) and age.
Conclusion: The major influencing factors of pulmonary infection after transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer are PCEA, diabetes, general anesthesia plus epidural analgesia, other postoperative complications, OLV, transfusion volume of RBC, BMI and age.

Background: Data about failure to rescue (FTR) after esophagectomy for cancer and its association with patient and procedure-related risk factors are limited. This study aimed to analyze such aspects, particularly focusing on the effect of pneumonia and anastomotic leak on FTR.
Methods: Patients who underwent an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for cancer between 2008 and 2022 in 2 tertiary European centers were prospectively identified.

Thoracogastric airway fistula (TGAF) is a rare but devastating complication that may occur following esophagectomy. The most effective method for repairing the defect between the airway and digestive tract is the interposition of a pedicled soft tissue in situ. However, this approach is associated with a high risk and remains challenging for surgeons.

Aim: This study aims to explore the rationality, feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of single-incision laparoscopic gastric pull-up (SILS-GPU) and robot-assisted gastric pull-up (R-GPU) methods.
Methods: Hospital records of patients who underwent gastric pull-up with either SILS-GPU or R-GPU between May2016 and January 2024 were reviewed. Demographics, diagnosis, surgical techniques, and postoperative outcomes were evaluated.
[Standardized surgical procedure of laparoscopic transphrenic approach for Siewert TypeⅡ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (2024 edition)].

In recent years, with the popularization of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic transphrenic approach (LTP) surgery for Siewert Type II adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) has gradually been applied in clinical practice. This technique combines the advantages of transthoracic and transabdominal approaches, achieving a combined operation of the thoracic and abdominal cavities. It can achieve thorough lymph node dissection, safe esophageal resection margin, and reliable digestive tract reconstruction, and has promising application prospects.

In the context of dysphagia, an infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus was diagnosed in a 43-year-old woman with a history of two liver and one kidney transplants as a result of Alagille syndrome. An esophagectomy with retrosternal left coloplasty (esocolic, gastrocolic, and colocolic anastomoses) was performed. On postoperative day 2, her hemodynamic status deteriorated resulting in significant increases in norepinephrine doses (from 0.
