Serum nutritional predictive biomarkers and risk assessment for anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic surgery in rectal cancer patients. World J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 16:3142-3154. [DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v16.i10.3142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the severest complications after laparoscopic surgery for middle/low rectal cancer, significantly impacting patient outcomes. Identifying reliable predictive factors for AL remains a clinical challenge. Serum nutritional biomarkers have been implicated in surgical outcomes but are underexplored as predictive tools for AL in this setting. Our study hypothesizes that preoperative serum levels of prealbumin (PA), albumin (ALB), and transferrin (TRF), along with surgical factors, can accurately predict AL risk.
AIM To determine the predictive value of preoperative serum nutritional biomarkers for rectal cancer AL following laparoscopic surgery.
METHODS In the retrospective cohort study carried out at a tertiary cancer center, we examined 560 individuals who underwent laparoscopic procedures for rectal cancer from 2018 to 2022. Preoperative serum levels of PA, ALB, and TRF were measured. We employed multivariate logistic regression to determine the independent risk factors for AL, and a predictive model was constructed and evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
RESULTS AL occurred in 11.96% of cases, affecting 67 out of 560 patients. Multivariate analysis identified PA, ALB, and TRF as the independent risk factor, each with an odds ratio of 2.621 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.582-3.812, P = 0.012], 3.982 (95%CI: 1.927-4.887, P = 0.024), and 2.109 (95%CI: 1.162-2.981, P = 0.031), respectively. Tumor location (< 7 cm from anal verge) and intraoperative bleeding ≥ 300 mL also increased AL risk. The predictive model demonstrated an excellent accuracy, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.942, a sensitivity of 0.844, and a specificity of 0.922, demonstrating an excellent ability to discriminate.
CONCLUSION Preoperative serum nutritional biomarkers, combined with surgical factors, reliably predict anastomotic leakage risk after rectal cancer surgery, highlighting their importance in preoperative assessment.

Abstract
Coagulation factor XIII (FXIII) acts as a fine fulcrum in blood plasma that maintains the balance between bleeding and thrombosis by covalently crosslinking the pre-formed fibrin clot into an insoluble one that is resistant to premature fibrinolysis. In plasma, FXIII circulates as a pro-transglutaminase complex composed of the dimeric catalytic FXIII-A encoded by the F13A1 gene and dimeric carrier/regulatory FXIII-B subunits encoded by the F13B gene. Growing evidence accumulated over decades of exhaustive research shows that not only does FXIII play major roles in both pathological extremes of hemostasis i.e. bleeding and thrombosis, but that it is, in fact, a pleiotropic protein with physiological roles beyond coagulation. However, the current FXIII genetic-epidemiological literature is overwhelmingly derived from the bleeding pathology associated with its deficiency. In this article we review the current clinical, functional, and molecular understanding of this fascinating multifaceted protein, especially putting into the same perspective its genetic landscape.

Abstract
Acquired FXIII deficiency is a relevant complication in the perioperative setting; however, we still have little evidence about the incidence and management of this rarely isolated coagulopathy. This study aims to help find the right value for the substitution of patients with an acquired mild FXIII deficiency. In this retrospective single-center cohort study, we enrolled critically ill patients with mild acquired FXIII deficiency (>5% and ≤70%) and compared clinical and laboratory parameters, as well as pro-coagulatory treatments. The results of the present analysis of 104 patients support the clinical relevance of FXIII activity out of the normal range. Patients with lower FXIII levels, beginning at <60%, had lower minimum and maximum hemoglobin values, corresponding to the finding that patients with a minimum FXIII activity of <50% needed significantly more packed red blood cells. FXIII activity correlated significantly with general coagulation markers such as prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and fibrinogen. Nevertheless, comparing the groups with a cut-off of 50%, the amount of fresh frozen plasma, thrombocytes, PPSB, AT-III, and fibrinogen given did not differ. These results indicate that a mild FXIII deficiency occurring at any point of intensive care unit stay is also probably relevant for the total need of packed red blood cells, independent of pro-coagulatory management. In alignment with the ESAIC guidelines, the measurement of FXIII in critically ill patients with the risk of bleeding and early management, with the substitution of FXIII at levels <50%-60%, could be suggested.

Abstract
AIM This study investigated whether preoperative serum transferrin, a rapid-turnover protein, was associated with prognosis after colorectal cancer (CRC) resection. METHODS We evaluated preoperative transferrin, which was calculated as iron and unsaturated iron-binding capacity, in 501 patients who underwent surgery for Stage I-III CRC. Transferrin level was directly proportional to total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and TIBC < 250 μg/dl was defined as low transferrin. The associations between transferrin and prognosis were evaluated in univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses. RESULTS Fifty-eight of 501 patients (11.5%) had low transferrin. In these patients, low transferrin was significantly associated with high age, female gender, low body mass index (<18.5), high white blood cell count, low total protein, low albumin, high C-reactive protein, low hemoglobin, and low neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio. In the univariate analysis, low transferrin was associated with shorter relapse-free survival (RFS) (hazard ratio [HR] 2.180, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.417-3.354, P < .001), overall survival (OS) (HR 2.930, 95% CI 1.784-4.811, P < .001), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) (HR 2.122, 95% CI 1.053-4.275, P = .035). In multivariate analysis, high age (P < .001), Glasgow Prognostic Score (P = .009), and low transferrin (HR 2.336, 95% CI 1.173-4.654, P = .011) were independently associated with shorter OS, and depth of invasion pT4 (P = .015), presence of lymph node metastasis (P = .001), low hemoglobin (P = .034), and low transferrin (HR 2.638, 95% CI 1.113-5.043, P = .025) were independently associated with shorter CSS. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative serum transferrin in Stage I-III CRC patients was identified as a novel prognostic marker by univariate and multivariate analyses.

Impact of a Long Linear Staplers on the Incidence of Stricture after Triangulating Esophagogastric Anastomosis. Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech 2021; 31:453-456. [PMID: 33492082 DOI: 10.1097/sle.0000000000000899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2020] [Accepted: 11/19/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Various techniques have been reported for esophagogastric anastomosis to prevent anastomotic leakage. Recently, not only postoperative anastomotic leakage but also anastomotic stricture is considered important because stricture contributes to the patient's postoperative quality of life. However, the best procedure for anastomosis has not been established. MATERIALS AND METHODS The authors divided 101 patients with thoracic or abdominal esophageal cancer who underwent cervical triangulating esophagogastric anastomosis using a linear stapler between May 2017 and May 2020 into 2 groups: surgery with a short (45 mm) linear stapler (SS group, n=59) or a long (60 mm) stapler (LS group, n=42). The frequencies of anastomotic leakage and stricture were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS The incidence of anastomotic leakage and stricture without leakage were significantly lower in the LS versus SS group (respectively: leakage: 15% vs. 0%, P=0.01; stricture: 36% vs. 7%, P=0.01). A short linear stapler and anastomotic leakage were independent risk factors for anastomotic stricture in the multivariate analysis (short stapler: odds ratio, 3.27; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-9.9; P=0.03; anastomotic leakage: odds ratio, 2.78; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-8.5; P=0.04). CONCLUSION A long linear stapler is preferable for cervical triangulating esophagogastric anastomosis.

Abstract
We reviewed the current status and future perspectives regarding the role of surgery in multidisciplinary treatment strategies for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The treatment and management of ESCC have been improved by dramatic advances in diagnostic techniques and the development of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. The current standard treatment for locally advanced ESCC is preoperative chemotherapy followed by surgery in Japan, whereas preoperative chemoradiotherapy is a globally recommended approach. Differences of recognition regarding the role for surgery between Japan and many Western countries may have created peculiar preferences for preoperative therapy. The clinical significance of conversion strategy and salvage surgery for patients with ESCC should be further evaluated in terms of curability and safety. Although strategies to identify patients who would benefit from preoperative therapy are strongly required to avoid performing unnecessary treatment, it remains difficult to predict the efficacy of preoperative therapy prior to treatment. Prospective clinical trials and basic research to identify predictive biomarkers for response to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy are needed to promote the development of multidisciplinary treatment strategies for patients with ESCC.

Effectiveness of Factor XIII Infusion in Treatment of Refractory Ureteral Leakage after Kidney Transplantation. Case Rep Transplant 2020; 2020:1780760.

Abstract
Despite the evolution of transplantation techniques, urological complications are common and result in loss of graft. We report the case of a 57-year-old man who developed continuous urine leakage despite pyeloureteral neoanastomosis and stenting after kidney transplantation from his dizygotic twin. Suspecting ureteral leakage, we performed pyeloureteral neoanastomosis using his native right ureter and a ureteral stent 5 days after the kidney transplant. However, urine leakage continued for several days. Because the plasma factor XIII level decreased to 48%, we administered factor XIII products (Fibrogammin P; CSL Behring, King of Prussia, PA) after the surgery. Although its utility and safety in patients with renal failure and/or transplantation are unclear, urine leakage stopped after the infusion of fibrogammin without any side effects. This is the first case report of the use of factor XIII for refractory urine leakage after kidney transplantation. Although further studies are needed, administration of factor XIII products could be one option for refractory urine leakage after transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomedical imaging devices that utilize the optical characteristics of hemoglobin (Hb) have become widespread. In the field of gastroenterology, there is a strong demand for devices that can apply this technique to surgical navigation. We aimed to introduce our novel multispectral device capable of intraoperatively performing quantitative imaging of the oxygen (O2) saturation and Hb amount of tissues noninvasively and in real time, and to examine its application for deciding the appropriate anastomosis point after subtotal or total esophagectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 39 patients with esophageal cancer were studied. Tissue O2 saturation and Hb amount of the gastric tube just before esophagogastric anastomosis were evaluated using a multispectral tissue quantitative imaging device. The anastomosis point was decided depending on the quantitative values and patterns of both the tissue O2 saturation and Hb amount. RESULTS The device can instantaneously and noninvasively quantify and visualize the tissue O2 saturation and Hb amount using reflected light. The tissue Hb status could be classified into the following four types: good circulation type, congestion type, ischemia type, and mixed type of congestion and ischemia. Postoperative anastomotic failure occurred in 2 cases, and both were mixed cases. CONCLUSIONS The method of quantitatively imaging the tissue O2 saturation and Hb level in real time and noninvasively using a multispectral device allows instantaneous determination of the anastomosis and related organ conditions, thereby contributing to determining the appropriate treatment direction.

Abstract
PURPOSE The administration of exogenous factor XIII (FXIII) is reportedly effective for fistula closure in patients with a low plasma FXIII level. This study was performed to analyze the effect of early administration of exogenous FXIII on postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). METHODS A single-center randomized controlled, open-label, parallel group, superiority trial was conducted from October 2015 to August 2016 in Japan. Patients with POPF and a plasma FXIII level of ≤ 70% on postoperative day 7 were randomly assigned to an early replacement (ER) group or control group in a 1:1 ratio by an independent coordinator using a computer-generated random number table. The ER group received FXIII concentrate the day after randomization, and the control group received no FXIII concentrate within 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was the duration of drain placement from randomization (DDPR). RESULTS Fifty patients were randomized (ER group, 24; control group, 26), and all were analyzed with an intention-to-treat approach. There was no significant difference in the DDPR between the two groups (18 vs. 16 days; hazard ratio, 1.45; 95% confidence interval, 0.813-2.583). No serious harm was reported in either group. CONCLUSION Early administration of exogenous FXIII does not facilitate the healing of POPF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the clinical impact of sarcopenia on multimodal therapy for patients with esophageal cancer is not well understood, this study was conducted to determine the influence of sarcopenia on the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) for locally advanced esophageal cancer. METHODS The skeletal muscle index was quantified at the level of the third lumbar vertebra on computed tomography images, and sarcopenia was defined as a skeletal muscle index that was less than the average for each gender. We compared treatment outcomes in patients with cT3 and nearly T4 thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma between the sarcopenia group (n = 85) and the non-sarcopenia group (n = 72). RESULTS The 5-year survival rates were 33.4% in the non-sarcopenia group and 31.5% in the sarcopenia group; these differences were not significant. The prognosis of the patients with sarcopenia was worse than that of the patients without sarcopenia in the surgery-alone group, but there was no difference between patients with and without sarcopenia in the NACRT group. CONCLUSIONS NACRT could be a useful option for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, even for those with sarcopenia, without increasing the incidence of morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anastomotic leak and conduit necrosis are devastating complications following Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. Near infrared imaging (NIR) using IndoCyanine Green allows for real time tissue perfusion assessment which may reduce anastomotic leak during minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (MIE). METHODS Forty consecutive MIE were performed by a single surgeon at a tertiary referral center. The first 20 were assessed for gastric conduit perfusion by clinical criteria (Group 1). The second 20 were also assessed using NIR laparoscopic system (Group 2). RESULTS Comparing Group 1 to Group 2, no significant differences were found in overall complication rate, readmission or reoperation rate. NIR resulted in resection of the non perfused proximal portion of the conduit in 30% (6/20). Two patients in group 2 group developed anastomotic leak (2/20) compared to 0 in Group 1 (p = 0.49). Graft necrosis led to one mortality in Group 1, while there were 0 mortalities in Group 2. (p = 1.0). CONCLUSION Although NIR plays a role in assessment of tissue perfusion, in our study its use did not result in reduction of anastomotic leak rate.

HPB (Oxford) 2017; 19:972-977.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The influence of decreased factor XIII (FXIII) activity on perioperative bleeding has been reported in some surgical procedures. The purposes of this study were to investigate the perioperative dynamics of FXIII in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy and to clarify the effects of low preoperative FXIII activity on intraoperative bleeding and postoperative complications. METHODS Total of 43 patients who underwent a pancreatoduodenectomy were enrolled. The perioperative FXIII activities were measured, and their associations with intraoperative bleeding and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS Fifteen patients (35%) had low FXIII activities (<70%, lower than the institutional normal range). The patients with preoperative FXIII activities <70% experienced significantly greater blood loss (median, 1309 mL) during surgery compared to those with FXIII levels of ≥70% (median, 710 mL) (p = 0.001). The postoperative morbidity rates, including pancreatic fistula, were comparable between the patients with FXIII activities <70% and those with FXIII activities ≥70%. The FXIII levels substantially decreased on postoperative day 1 and remained at low levels until postoperative day 7. CONCLUSION Unexpectedly high proportions of patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy had low preoperative FXIII activities. Preoperative FXIII deficiency may increase intraoperative bleeding but had no influence on the postoperative outcomes.

Circular stapling versus triangulating stapling for the cervical esophagogastric anastomosis after esophagectomy in patients with thoracic esophageal cancer: A prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Surgery 2017; 162:131-138. [PMID: 28318550 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2017.01.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2016] [Revised: 01/12/2017] [Accepted: 01/17/2017] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have reported that the triangulating stapling method decreases the incidence of anastomotic stricture after esophagectomy, but no randomized, controlled trial has confirmed the efficacy of the triangulating stapling method for cervical esophagogastrostomy. We compared triangulating stapling and circular stapling for cervical esophagogastric anastomosis regarding the decrease in anastomotic stricture after esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal cancer. METHODS Between August 2010 and April 2014, 100 patients enrolled in this randomized, controlled trial at the Wakayama Medical University Hospital were allocated randomly to either the circular stapling group (n = 49) or the triangulating stapling group (n = 51). The primary end point was the incidence of anastomotic stricture within 12 months postoperatively. This randomized, controlled trial was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trial Registry (UMIN000004848). RESULTS There were no differences between the circular stapling and triangulating stapling groups in terms of clinical data. The amount of time required for esophagogastric anastomosis was slightly greater for the triangulating stapling group (22 minutes) than for the circular stapling group (18 minutes) (P = .028). Anastomotic stricture occurred in 8 patients (17%) in the circular stapling group and 9 patients (19%) in the triangulating stapling group (P = .935). The rate of anastomotic leakage was 11% for the circular stapling group and 2% for the triangulating stapling group (P = .073). CONCLUSION The triangulating stapling method for cervical anastomosis for thoracic esophageal cancer does not decrease the incidence of anastomotic stricture compared with the circular stapling method within 12 postoperative months but may affect the rate of anastomotic leakage.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to clarify the usefulness of two-stage operation for the patients with esophageal cancer who have liver dysfunction. METHODS Eight patients with esophageal cancer concomitant with liver dysfunction who underwent two-stage operation were analyzed. The patients initially underwent an esophagectomy, a cervical esophagostomy and a tube jejunostomy, and reconstruction with gastric tube was performed after the recovery of patients' condition. RESULTS The average time of the 1(st) and 2(nd) stage operation was 410.0 min and 438.9 min, respectively. The average amount of blood loss in the 1(st) and 2(nd) stage operation was 433.5 ml and 1556.8 ml, respectively. The average duration between the operations was 29.8 days. The antesternal route was selected for 5 patients (62.5%) and the retrosternal route was for 3 patients (37.5%). In the 1(st) stage operation, no postoperative complications were observed, while, complications developed in 5 (62.5%) patients, including 4 anastomotic leakages, after the 2(nd) stage operation. Pneumonia was not observed through two-stage operation. No in-hospital death was experienced. CONCLUSION A two-stage operation might prevent the occurrence of critical postoperative complications for the patients with esophageal cancer concomitant with liver dysfunction.

Abstract
The significance of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains controversial with regard to the pathological response and long-term survival. We herein review the current status of and future perspectives regarding NACRT followed by esophagectomy for locally advanced ESCC. Some studies have suggested that a pathological complete response with NACRT is more common in patients with ESCC than in those with adenocarcinoma and that NACRT provided a survival benefit limited to patients with ESCC. However, NACRT may increase the risk of postoperative complications after esophagectomy. It is obvious that a favorable pathological response is the most important factor for obtaining a survival benefit, although no established parameters have been implemented clinically to predict the response to NACRT. Prospective clinical studies and basic research studies to identify predictive biomarkers for the response to NACRT are needed to aid in the development of NACRT treatment strategies for patients with ESCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report our results of treating esophageal caustic stricture with an isoperistaltic left colic graft interposed via a retrosternal route. METHODS We reviewed 70 patients who underwent substernal left colon interposition, performed retrosternally, for an esophageal caustic stricture, between January, 1999 and December, 2011. RESULTS The median operative time in this series was 3 h. A pharyngoplasty was performed in 10 patients (14.28 %), the thoracic inlet was found to be enlarged in 33 patients (47.1 %), and posterior cologastric anastomosis was performed in 58 patients (82.8 %). Two patients (2.8 %) died. Minor and major postoperative complications developed in 28 patients (40 %), including graft ischemia in 2 (2.8 %) and cervical anastomotic leakage in 14 (20 %). Five patients (7.14 %) developed a cervical anastomotic stricture. The functional results were satisfactory. CONCLUSION Retrosternal isoperistaltic left colic transplant interposition is an excellent long-term replacement for an esophageal caustic stricture. If performed by experienced surgeons, this procedure is effective for esophageal reconstruction.

Abstract
Replacing the thoracic esophagus with the colon is one mode of reconstruction after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. There is, however, a high incidence of postoperative necrosis of the transposed colon. This study evaluated the outcomes of colon interposition with the routine use of superdrainage by microvascular surgery. Twenty-one patients underwent colon interposition from 2004 to 2009. The strategy for colon interposition was to: (i) use the right hemicolon; (ii) reconstruct via the subcutaneous route; (iii) perform a microvascular venous anastomosis for all patients; and (iv) perform a microvascular arterial anastomosis when the arterial blood flow was insufficient. The clinicopathologic features, surgical findings, and outcomes were investigated. The colon was used because of a previous gastrectomy in 18 patients (85.7%) and synchronous gastric cancer in three patients (14.3%). Eight patients (38.1%) underwent preoperative chemoradiotherapy including three (14.3%) treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy. Seven patients (33.3%) underwent microvascular arterial anastomosis to supplement the right colon blood supply. Pneumonia occurred in four patients (19.0%). Anastomotic leakage was observed in five patients (23.8%); however, no colon necrosis was observed. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were both 50.6%. Colon interposition with superdrainage results in successful treatment outcomes. This technique is one option for colon interposition employing the right hemicolon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ghrelin, a stomach-derived hormone, stimulates growth hormone secretion and appetite, and inhibits excessive inflammatory response. Plasma ghrelin might affect the inflammatory response to stressful surgical interventions. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serial changes in plasma ghrelin concentrations and the postoperative clinical course after esophagectomy. METHODS The prospective cohort study subjects were 20 patients with esophageal cancer, who underwent esophagectomy with gastric tube reconstruction. Blood samples were taken six times perioperatively during the course of esophagectomy. RESULTS The plasma ghrelin level decreased to 33 % (range 15-90 %) on postoperative day (POD) 1, relative to the preoperative level, then recovered to about 50 % by POD 3-10. The duration of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was significantly longer in patients with a marked ghrelin reduction to <33 % on POD 1, than in those with less marked reduction of ≥ 33 % (6.1 ± 1.3 vs. 2.1 ± 0.6 days, P = 0.019). On POD 1, the only inflammatory marker that correlated with the duration of SIRS was the % ghrelin, whereas C-reactive protein, leukocyte count, and IL-6 did not. CONCLUSION An early postoperative drop in plasma ghrelin correlated with prolonged SIRS after esophagectomy. Thus, the supplementation of low plasma ghrelin may help minimize excess inflammatory response in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for esophageal cancer on the postoperative course, and to determine the clinical significance of salvage esophagectomy after definitive CRT. METHODS Based on their preoperative treatment, 477 patients with esophageal cancer were classified into three groups: 253 patients who received surgery alone (Group I), 197 who received planned CRT (30-45 Gy, Group II), and 27 who received a salvage esophagectomy (radiation ≥60 Gy, Group III). RESULTS Postoperative complications developed in 25, 40, and 59% of the patients in Groups I, II, and III, respectively, with pulmonary complications developing in 10, 15, and 30%, and anastomotic leakage developing in 13, 23, and 37%, respectively. Mortality rates were 2.4, 2.0, and 7.4%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed preoperative therapy to be an independent factor associated with postoperative risks: the odds ratios (ORs) of Groups II and III compared to Group I were 1.8 and 4.0 for pulmonary complications, while they were 1.9 and 2.8, respectively, for anastomotic leakage. No critical complications developed in the 14 patients who received salvage surgery performed with strict surgical indications after 2005. The survival of Group III was not significantly different from that of Groups I and II. Most patients who received an R1/R2 resection after definitive CRT died within 2 years after salvage surgery. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative CRT is associated with postoperative complications especially in patients with R2 resection, while long-term survival can be achieved after R0 resections. Salvage surgery should be considered for carefully selected patients in whom R0 resection can be achieved.

Abstract
The present best practice for performing esophageal reconstruction using colon tissue was investigated in this review. The left colon has advantages in that it has less variation in blood supply and a smaller diameter than the right colon; however, the rate of graft necrosis is higher for the left colon. Additional microvascular anastomosis, which is unnecessary in most cases, may be able to resolve these issues. The colon graft should be reconstructed in an isoperistaltic fashion whenever possible in order to prevent regurgitation and improve food transit. The posterior mediastinum has the advantage of being the shortest route, but it also has the major disadvantage that graft necrosis can be severe or fatal if it occurs. In palliative or advanced cases, a retrosternal or subcutaneous route is preferred, because the posterior mediastinum is a tumor bed. However, in these cases partial excision of the manubrium and the left clavicula should be considered to release compression of the graft at the thoracic inlet. Consequently, the selection of the colon graft should be flexible and be based on the inspection of blood supply and the length needed, and thereafter microvessel anastomosis should be added in cases where graft ischemia might occur.
