Abstract | Background: Methods: From September 2009 to December 2020, a total of 934 cases were diagnosed with ESCC and underwent minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy in our department; 223 cases met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized to contrast the postoperative results and long-term survival of Group 1 (SM) and Group 2 (SC). Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used on possible predictors of survival. Results: One hundred forty-seven patients were available for outcome comparison after PSM. The postoperative results were not significantly different between the two groups. In terms of long-term survival, the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 37.6% and 57.3% (p = 0.191) and 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) was 39.7% and 68.4% (p = 0.028) for Group 1 (SM) and Group 2 (SC), respectively. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses showed that body mass index (BMI), pathologic stage (pStage), and SC/SM grouping had significant hazard ratios (HRs), which suggested that SC is associated with better DSS. Conclusion:
