Abstract: Radical esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal cancer is invasive and frequently results in postoperative pulmonary complications. Postoperative pneumonia is the most common such complication and affects hospital mortality and survival rates. Oral care has been very effective in reducing pneumonia. In Japan, preoperative professional oral care is highly recommended. However, there are few studies on the effect of preoperative improvements in oral hygiene as a result of intervention on the incidence of postopera… Show more

“…Our current ndings are incompatible with previous reports investigating the effectiveness of preoperative oral hygiene care for patients undergoing esophagectomy (10,11,12); evidence of its effectiveness has also been reported by several studies in elds of surgery other than esophagectomy (17,18). The discrepancy might be explained in part due to differences in preoperative intervention methods.…”

“…Innovations and progress have been made in surgical techniques as well as in perioperative care, and postoperative morbidity has decreased (6,7,8). Among the innovations proposed to reduce pulmonary complications after esophagectomy is perioperative oral hygiene care (9,10,11,12).…”

“…The preoperative oral management (POM) by dentists reduced the risk of AP to 2.2% and 3.2% of surgery, respectively. Similar results obtained by other researches [28]. The results suggested that in patients undergoing open or thoracoscopic esophagectomy, POM by dentists prevented the occurrence of postoperative aspiration pneumonia.…”

“…Interestingly, even the rate of anastomotic leakage decreased, although it was not significant. There were several interventional studies trying to influence the rate of postoperative pneumonia by different preoperative interventions such as simple tooth brushing, professional dental care, or oral rinses with chlorhexidine (33)(34)(35)(36). In all studies, a significant decrease in the incidence of postoperative pneumonia could be observed.…”
