Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: In all, 3,015 patients received an esophagectomy in elective and emergent settings; 90 esophagectomies were for acute injuries (52 for benign and 38 for malignant causes). A longer median length of stay was associated with emergent esophagectomy compared with elective esophagectomy (13 versus 10 days, p < 0.0001), and the complication rates were higher in the emergent group (51.1% versus 35.6%, p = 0.003). The survival rates at 30 days, 1 year, and 5 years after surgery were not significantly different between the emergent and nonemergent esophagectomy groups for patients with both benign and malignant underlying conditions. Within the emergent group, there was no difference in 30-day or 6-month survival based on benign or malignant causes, but a significant difference was seen at 1 year (85% for benign versus 65% for malignant, p = 0.025) and 5 years for survival (72% versus 21%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS:
