Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis on the Efficacy and Safety of Salvage Esophagectomy for T4 Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page 1441-1449, September 2026.
This meta‐analysis of 208 cases shows that salvage esophagectomy for cT4 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma achieves a 72% R0 resection rate, offering a curative pathway for selected patients. However, it remains a high‐risk procedure with an 18% anastomotic leak rate and 30% major complications (Clavien–Dindo ≥ III).
