Esophagectomies are associated with high mortality and various complications. Previous studies reported on the short-term outcomes were heterogeneous and inconsistent in comparing minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) with traditional open esophagectomy (OE). The objective of this study is to compare the short-term outcomes between MIE and OE calculated using Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) which incorporates all complication severities.
