The decrease of BMI and albumin levels influences the rate of anastomotic leaks in patients following reconstruction after emergency diverting esophagectomy
2019
Objectives
Diverting esophagectomies in cases of benign esophageal perforations remain rare but potentially life saving procedures. Usually, an esophagostoma and a feeding jejunostomy or gastrostomy are created, and patients are given time to recover from the emergency situation. However, little is known about morbidity and mortality as well as the optimal timing for a staged reconstruction.
