Background:
Esophagectomy is a procedure that carries considerable morbidity. Many studies have evaluated factors to predict patients at risk and improve clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine whether the SAS predicts complications, length of stay, and anastomotic leak for patients undergoing esophagectomy at a high-volume institution.
