Assessment

Primary outcomes

Short-term Postoperative Outcomes (DTGE Incidence Rate)
*DTGE evaluation is based on the amount of food residue in the thoracic cavity (area measurement at the maximum retention slice) on CT scan at 3 months after surgery.

Key secondary outcomes

The overall incidence of complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, length of hospital stay, weight change, body composition (skeletal muscle mass and lean body mass measured by a body composition scale), muscle strength (grip strength and 4-meter walk test), nutritional indicators (Alb, prealbumin, total protein, lymphocyte count, total cholesterol level), dietary intake, readmission rate, and QOL indicators according to the EORTC QLQ-OES18 will be evaluated at discharge from the hospital and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Endoscopy at 12 months will evaluate the amount of gastric residue and the presence or absence of anastomotic ulcers with the cervical esophagus.
