AbstractBackground: The population‐based incidence of anastomotic stricture after minimally invasive oesophagectomy (MIO) and open oesophagectomy (OO) is not known. The aim of this study was to compare rates of anastomotic stricture requiring dilatation after the two approaches in an unselected cohort using nationwide data from Finland and Sweden. Methods: All patients who had MIO or OO for oesophageal cancer between 2007 and 2014 were identified from nationwide registries in Finland and Sweden. Outcomes were the overall rate of anastomotic stricture and need for single or repeated (3 or more) dilatations for stricture within the first year after surgery. Multivariable Cox regression provided hazard ratios (HRs) with 95 per cent confidence intervals, adjusted for age, sex, co‐morbidity, histology, stage, year, country, hospital volume, length of hospital stay and readmissions. Results: Some 239 patients underwent MIO and 1430 had an open procedure. The incidence of strictures requiring one dilatation was 16·7 per cent, and that for strictures requiring three or more dilatations was 6·6 per cent. The HR for strictures requiring one dilatation was not increased after MIO compared with that after OO (HR 1·19, 95 per cent c.i. 0·66 to 2·12), but was threefold higher for repeated dilatations (HR 3·25, 1·43 to 7·36). Of 18 strictures following MIO, 14 (78 per cent) occurred during the first 2 years after initiating this approach. Conclusion: The need for endoscopic anastomotic dilatation after oesophagectomy was common, and the need for repeated dilatation was higher after MIO than following OO. The increased risk after MIO may reflect a learning curve. see all
