Abstract

Abstract:

Esophageal cancer is a highly prevalent and specific malignant tumor of the digestive tract in China, and surgery is an important treatment for esophageal cancer. However, anastomotic leakage is a high incidence and serious postoperative complication, which adversely affects perioperative mortality and long-term survival. This article summarizes the clinical characteristics, high-risk factors, and progress of prevention and treatment of anastomotic leakage after radical surgery for esophageal cancer, with a view to providing future references for reducing the incidence of this complication and improving its treatment prognosis.

Key words: ESCC, Complication, Anastomotic fistula, Minimally invasive surgery
