Abstract
Surgical resection of cancer of the esophagus is associated with a high complication rate: mainly leakage of the anastomotic site and pulmonary complications. Mortality following postoperative pulmonary complication ranges from 15% to 68% [1, 2]. This study was designed to identify significant risk factors of pulmonary complications, which could help to reduce their rate and decrease the operative mortality.
