Multi-factor investigation of early postoperative cardiac arrhythmia for elderly patients with esophageal or cardiac carcinoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Laparoscopic rectal resection (LRR) for cancer is a challenging procedure, with conversion to open surgery being reported in up to 30% of cases. Since only a few studies with short follow-up have compared converted LRR and open RR (ORR), it is unclear if conversion to open surgery should be prevented by pref...
