death, CSG, anastomotic stenosis
The median follow-up time of all patients in the study group who did not drop out due to death, was 24.37 months (i.q.r. 24.31–24.49, range 6.1–25.23). The median overall survival was 22.67 (i.q.r. 10.26–24.37, range 0.7–25.23). During follow-up, 19 (46.3 per cent) patients died in the CSG, and 19 (48.7 per cent) in the ISG. In the CSG, 21 (51.2 per cent) patients, of those that did not drop out due to death, finished the follow-up and 20 (51.3 per cent) patients in the ISG. There was no significant difference in median overall survival time between the CSG (21.33 months (i.q.r. 10.03–24.37), range 0.7–24.73) and the ISG (22.80 months (i.q.r. 11.62–24.37), range 1.3–25.23). Within 24 months of follow-up, no anastomotic stenosis occurred in the CSG or ISG (Long-term complicationsValues are
