Abstract EN
Increased esophagectomy procedures over the past four decades have correlated with the rise in incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma.
Despite advances in technology and procedural expertise, esophagectomy remains a high-risk surgical procedure.
Higher volume facilities have more experience with esophagectomy and would be expected to have a lower incidence of surgical complications and attendant morbidity and mortality.
By analyzing information from a nationwide United States hospital database, we sought to find out if there is a significant difference between facilities stratified by case volume, with regards to 30-day readmission after esophagectomy.
The findings of this study indicated that even with a large applied differential, early readmissions did not differ significantly between high- and low-volume centers.
Also, analyzed and discussed were any associated demographic and comorbidity factors as they relate to early readmissions after esophagectomy for esophageal adenocarcinoma across the country.
This is the first study to specifically address these variables.
