The secondary endpoints reflect important treatment outcomes and thus enable a comprehensive evaluation of the surgical therapy and the postoperative course of treatment.Perioperative complications associated with oesophagectomy are defined and recorded according to the Oesophagectomy Complications Consensus Group (ECCG) definition [Determination of postoperative pain during study visits0 = very dissatisfied; 10 = very satisfiedFurthermore, oesophagectomy-associated postoperative morbidity (pneumothorax, pleural effusion, chylothorax, pneumonia, anastomotic leakage, surgical site infection), in-hospital mortality, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and hospital stay will be analysed.
