Background: Post oesophagectomy leakage is a common postoperative complication. This present review was aimed at documenting the problem of post-oesophagectomy leakage and associated variables at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) between January 1998 and December 2004.Methods: All patients presenting with carcinoma of the oesophagus and who underwent an oesophagectomy were included into the study. Analysis of data was carried out to determine the leakage rate as well as determining the association of leaks with other preoperative and postoperative variables. Statistical analysis performed on Microsoft Excel (10.2614.2625), and Epinfo 2002. The Chi2 test was used to determine statistical significance. Level of significance was achieved if the...
