Abstract:Background and aim
Despite recent advancements in perioperative care, postoperative morbidity following an esophagectomy remains substantial. Studies in other major abdominal surgery, have shown that prehabilitation can improve short-term outcomes. This single-center cohort study investigated the effect of prehabilitation in patients undergoing minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy (MIE-IL).
