Correction to: Surgical Endoscopy (2023) https://doi.org/10.1007/s00464-023-10095-w


The original online version of this article was revised to correct errors in Fig. 3. In the original version of the figure, one sample was mistakenly grouped in the loaded data for the plotting of the Kaplan-Meire curves. In the risk table, there should be 104 people in the D3 + CME group instead of 103 people. Additionally, in the KM curves for Stage II-III, there should be 95 people in the D3 + CME group instead of 94 people.
