Methods A total of 980 patients with esophageal cancer undergoing esophagectomy through the cervico-thoracoabdominal approach were retrospectively included in this study and divided into two groups. All patients underwent tubular stomach creation(group A; n = 530) or a diaphragmatic suture and tubular stomach creation(group B; n = 450). The incidence of early DGE was observed. Results The incidence of early DGE in group A was significantly higher than that in group B(P < 0.05). Conclusion This observation study suggests that the use of a diaphragmatic suture with tubular stomach through the cervico-thoracoabdominal approach can decrease the incidence of early DGE after esophagectomy.展开更多
