Abstract

Operative mortality rates following oesophagectomy have continued to fall. However, the true rate is almost certainly higher than that reported here, for a variety of reasons. The 1-year survival of patients was only reported in about a quarter of the papers. It may be a more meaningful figure than postoperative mortality rate.
