Survival outcomes of intrathoracic vs. cervical anastomosis post-esophagectomy in middle and lower thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective propensity score matching analysis
In conclusion, our study suggests that there may be a potential survival advantage of CA over IA in patients undergoing esophagectomy for ESCC. However, the initial survival benefits associated with CA diminished after adjusting for confounding factors.
