Core Tip

Core Tip: In this study, a predictive model was developed to stratify the risk of surgical adverse events following minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. By identifying key risk factors, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, low forced expiratory volume in the first second, and hypoalbuminemia, the model enhances preoperative assessment, allowing for targeted interventions. The model’s high predictive accuracy underscores its potential for integration into clinical practice to improve patient outcomes and reduce postoperative complications after minimally invasive esophagectomy. This approach represents a significant advancement in personalized surgical management for esophageal cancer patients.
