TL;DR: The number of lymph nodes removed is an independent predictor of survival after esophagectomy for cancer, and to maximize this survival benefit a minimum of 23 regional lymph nodes must be removed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective randomized comparison of transhiatal and transthoracic resection for lower-third esophageal carcinoma.
TL;DR: Although there was no demonstrable statistical difference in results between TH and TT approaches, the TT approach is preferred as it allowed for a more controlled operation.

Journal ArticleDOI
Colonic interposition after esophagectomy for cancer.

Journal ArticleDOI
