Core tip: Esophageal cancer is one of the most common gastrointestinal cancers. Minimally invasive esophageal cancer resection has achieved good results in the early clinical application of esophageal cancer and some advanced esophageal cancer. However, studies have shown that patients with Ivor-Lewis type esophageal cancer resection have a higher incidence of early gastric emptying disorder. This study explored the factors that influence the early onset of delayed gastric emptying after minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophageal cancer resection. The results show that advanced age, postoperative anxiety, perioperative hypoalbuminemia, and postoperative hyper-remediation can increase postoperative gastric emptying disorder. The incidence of obstacles affects the quality of life after surgery.
