| Popis: | Introduction: Oesophageal resection were notoriously complicated and produces a cohort of patients prone to postoperative complications and here we would like to focus on the implementation and effectiveness of early chest tube removal in ERAS after oesophago-gastrectomy considering the various aspect like pleural effusion and reducing the length of hospital stay which ultimately lead to reducing the economic burden on patient. Methods: An ERAS programme was devised and implemented with the support of a dedicated in-hospital task-force. The patients underwent esophago-gastrectomy were randomly divided into two groups: the ERAS group and the control group (non-ERAS). The ERAS group was treated with early removal of the chest tube after surgery, and the control group was treated with traditional way and outcomes were compared between them. Results: The length of hospital stay and the cost of hospitalization in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the control group（p |
