Pre ‐embedded cervical circular stapled anastomosis in esophagectomy

ConclusionOur data revealed that pre ‐embedded cervical circular stapled anastomosis is an alternative for patients with good stomach length, which can decrease the occurrence rate of anastomotic fistula by full peripheral embedding of anastomotic stoma.Key points This new technique can significantly reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage. This study adds further details enabling a smooth pre ‐embedded procedure to be performed.
