Abstract
In this carefully matched group of patients, intrathoracic use of the side-to-side stapled esophagogastric anastomosis in esophageal cancer patients is safe and effective. Postoperative dysphagia and need for stricture dilation may be decreased using a stapled compared with a traditional hand-sewn anastomosis.
