Research progress on risk factors for postoperative anastomotic fistula in esophageal cancer
Esophageal tumors are common digestive tract tumors worldwide,and surgical treatment is the main treatment for resectable esophageal cancer.However,the incidence of postoperative complications is high,with anastomotic fistula being the most common and serious complication,with a high mortality rate.In order to reduce the incidence of postoperative anastomotic fistula in esophageal cancer,it is necessary to identi-fy high-risk populations for postoperative anastomotic fistula in esophageal cancer early on and intervene in risk factors.The article reviews the risk factors for postoperative anastomotic fistula in esophageal cancer from three aspects:preoperative,intraoperative,and postoperative.
