Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This retrospective cohort study reviewed patients who underwent McKeown esophagectomy. All patients routinely underwent either endoscopy or esophagram for the evaluation of anastomosis on postoperative day 7. The initiation of oral intake depended on the status of anastomosis according to the assessment result of endoscopy or esophagram. All patients were followed up for six months after the assessment of anastomosis.

- label
- Endoscopy group
- description
- The patients routinely underwent either endoscopy for the evaluation of anastomosis on postoperative day 7. The initiation of oral intake depended on the status of anastomosis according to the assessment result of endoscopy. The patients whose endoscopy revealed a good healing anastomosis were allowed to initiate oral intake. While the patients whose endoscopy revealed a poor healing anastomosis were monitored with a repeat endoscopy weekly and these patients were delayed for oral intake until the repeat endoscopy revealed a good healing anastomosis.

- Esophagram group
- description
- All patients routinely underwent esophagram for the evaluation of anastomosis on postoperative day 7. The initiation of oral intake depended on the status of anastomosis according to the assessment result of esophagram. The patients whose esophagram indicated an intact anastomosis were allowed to initiate oral intake.
