Effect of thoracic size on postoperative outcomes in transabdominal gastrectomy for Siewert type II/III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction
Thoracic size is an independent risk factor affecting the postoperative outcomes of transabdominal gastrectomy for Siewert type II and III AEG. Patients with larger thoracic cage are at a higher risk of postoperative complications, particularly pulmonary complications. For those patients, laparoscopic surgery may be a viable option.
