For the surgery of esophageal cancer, cervical, mediastinal, and abdominal lymph node dissection (three-field lymph node dissection, 3FLND) is still controversial in most countries. This study aims to provide additional evidence of this procedure comparing with mediastinal-abdominal lymph node dissection (two-field lymph node dissection, 2FLND) from a high volume center in China, and also attempts to identify routes to reduce postoperative complications associated with 3FLND.
