Incidence and treatment of anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy in German acute care hospitals: a retrospective cohort study
AL rates after esophagectomy remain high. In-house mortality is significantly lower in high-volume hospitals highlighting the importance to consider improvements in centralization of procedures. Further efforts are needed to reduce AL rates and improve outcomes after esophagectomy.
