Benign disease was present in 17.2%, whereas malignancy accounted for 82.8%. A hand-sewn cervical anastomosis was performed in 96.8% of patients. The colonic graft, predominantly based on the left colic artery (89.2%) was routed through the posterior mediastinum in 51.6% and via the retrosternal route in 47.3%. Median operative time was 303\u00a0min (IQR 247.5\u2013364). Major complications included anastomotic leakage (28%), anastomotic stenosis (30.1%), pleural empyema (11.8%), and postoperative bleeding (10.8%). The reoperation rate was 38.7%, with a median hospital stay of 29 days (IQR 20\u201363).
