Article Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the risk factors for anastomotic stricture in esophageal cancer patients undergoing esophagectomy. Esophageal anastomotic stricture is the most common long-term complication for esophagectomy. The risk factors for esophageal anastomotic stricture still remain controversial.
Methods: MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were searched to identify observational studies reporting the risk factors for esophageal anastomotic stricture after esophagectomy. A meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of various risk factors on esophageal anastomotic stricture. The GRADE [Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation] approach was used for quality assessment of evidence on outcome levels.
Results: This review included 14 studies evaluating 5987 patients.The meta-analysis found that anastomotic leakage (odds ratio [OR]: 2.75; 95% confidence interval[CI]:2.16-3.49), cardiovascular disease [OR:1.62; 95% CI: 1.22-2.16],diabete [OR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.20-2.19] may be risk factors for esophageal anastomotic stricture.There were no association between neoadjuvant therapy [OR: 0.78; 95% CI:0.62-0.97], wide gastric conduit [OR:0.98; 95% CI: 0.37-2.56],mechanical anastomosis [OR: 0.84; 95% CI:0.47-1.48],colonic interposition[OR:0.20; 95% CI: 0.12-0.35],and transhiatal approach[OR:1.16; 95% CI:0.81-1.64],with the risk of esophageal anastomotic stricture.
Conclusions: This meta-analysis provides some evidence that anastomotic leakage,cardiovascular disease and diabete may be associated with higher rates of esophageal anastomotic stricture.Knowledge about those risk factors may influence treatment and procedure-related decisions,and possibly reduce the anastomotic stricture rate.

Background: Complex surgery during initial cancer treatment can limit surgical options when planning management of a secondary malignancy. Subtotal esophagectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy are the most invasive and difficult procedures in gastroenterological surgery. Surgical cases in which subtotal esophagectomy was performed after pancreatoduodenectomy with pancreaticogastrostomy are extremely rare and challenging procedures due to the resulting complicated anatomical changes.

Background: Thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) has been reported to have superior outcomes to the open approach. We sought to evaluate adoption of thoracoscopic repair at US children's hospitals and compare outcomes to open repair.
Methods: The Pediatric Health Information System database was used to identify patients with EA/TEF who underwent repair between 2016 and 2023.
Efficacy of robot-assisted double-flap techniques with refinements to minimize anastomosis-related complications after proximal gastrectomy.

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Hyogo Medical University, 1-1 Mukogawa, Nishinomiya, Hyogo, 663-8501, Japan.
Purpose: The double-flap technique (DFT) is an anti-reflux reconstruction procedure performed after proximal gastrectomy (PG), but its complexity and high incidence of anastomotic stenosis are problematic. We conducted this study to demonstrate the efficacy of robot-assisted DFT, with refinements, to address these issues.
Methods: Surgical outcomes were compared between the following procedures modified over time at our institution: conventional open DFT (group O, n = 16); early robotic DFT (group RE, n = 19), which follows the conventional open PG approach; and late robotic DFT (group RL, n = 21), which incorporates refinements to the early robotic DFT technique by exploiting more of the robotic capabilities available.
Preservation of the azygos vein versus ligation of the azygos vein during primary surgical repair of congenital esophageal atresia.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Copenhagen University Hospital - Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Esophageal atresia is one of the most common life-threatening congenital malformations and is defined as an interruption in the continuity of the esophagus with or without fistula to the trachea or bronchi. Definitive treatment is surgical ligation of the fistula if present and esophageal end-to-end anastomosis of the two pouches, thereby reconstructing the continuity of the esophagus. During this procedure, the surgeon may choose to either ligate or preserve the azygos vein, a major draining vein for the esophagus and surrounding structures, but no definitive consensus on the matter exists.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are evidence-based care improvement pathways which are perceived to expedite patient recovery following surgery. Their utility in the setting of oesophagectomy remains unclear. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials (RCTs) to evaluate the impact of ERAS protocols on recovery following oesophagectomy compared to standard care.
