Abstract

BACKGROUND: Postoperative delirium (POD) is one of messy complications related with increased mortality and hospital costs. Patients undergoing esophagectomy are more in danger of delirium than other kinds of surgeries. We investigated the impact of robot-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy on the incidence of POD compared with open transthoracic esophagectomy.
