Surgical quality determines the long-term survival superiority of right over left thoracic esophagectomy for localized esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients: a real-world multicenter study.

In terms of lymph node yield, despite a decreasing trend, the average number of nodes resected in surgery during both learning and postlearning phases was considerably higher than the recommended threshold values of 15 nodes [mean (SD): 36.8 (16.1) vs. 29.1 (10.3), P <0.001].
