Implication

Retrospective analysis compares short-term postoperative outcomes between HALS and LAP in esophageal cancer patients, suggesting similar effectiveness.

Key Points

No significant differences were found in postoperative complications between HALS and LAP groups.
Postoperative respiratory complications occurred in 9.2% of HALS cases compared to 17.6% for LAP, indicating possible trends.
The median postoperative hospital stay was nearly identical, with HALS averaging 24 days and LAP 26 days.
Patient characteristics and surgeon preference should guide the choice between HALS and LAP approaches.
