Respiratory complications following minimally invasive esophagectomy: associated factors and predictive value of lung age.

Background: Postoperative complications following esophageal surgery are severe, with respiratory complications being the most common. This study aims to evaluate the rate of respiratory complications and related factors post-esophagectomy and lymph node dissection for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Subjects And Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2022 to March 2024 on ESCC who underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy and extended two-field lymph node dissection.

Total gastrectomy and extended D2 lymphadenectomy for primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma: A case report.

Primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma (PGSCC) is a rare form of gastric malignancy. The etiology remains unclear and no standardized treatment protocol or consensus has been established. The current study presents a rare case of PGSCC treated by total gastrectomy and extended D2 lymphadenectomy, alongside a review of related clinical literature.

Emergency esophagectomy for esophageal perforation following balloon dilation due to stenosis post-endoscopic submucosal dissection for esophageal cancer: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Esophageal perforation from endoscopic dilation is rare (0.53-0.6% incidence) but serious, with mortality rates of 12.

A Large Esophageal Leiomyoma: Thoraco-Laparoscopic Enucleation or Esophagectomy and Reconstruction?

BACKGROUND Esophageal leiomyoma is a rare condition, with an estimated incidence rate of 0.4% of all esophageal neoplasms. These tumors are typically small, rarely more than 5 cm.
