Core Tip This retrospective cohort study compared modified layered hand-sewn (HS) and circular stapled (CS) anastomosis in 80 patients undergoing McKeown esophagectomy for upper, middle, or lower thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Forty patients were included in each group. Baseline characteristics, operative outcomes, postoperative complications, and quality of life at 3 months were assessed. Operative duration and blood loss were comparable between two groups. The HS group had a shorter postoperative hospital stay and a significantly lower incidence of anastomotic stricture than the CS group. Patients receiving HS anastomosis also reported better swallowing function, better eating function, and improved nutritional status postoperatively.
