Research comparing the effect of esophagogastrostomy on the anterior and posterior walls of the gastric conduit in minimally invasive esophagectomy revealed that placing the anastomosis on the anterior wall resulted in a lower rate of delayed gastric emptying. Out of the 439 patients included in the study, those with anterior wall anastomosis experienced fewer complications, including a significantly lower rate of delayed gastric emptying and nosocomial pneumonia, compared to the patients with posterior wall anastomosis.
