Kaplan-Meier estimates of time to events subset by surgical approach.
(A) Median time to surgery did not have a statistically significant association
between endoscopic surgery and open surgery (16.5 vs. 29.0 days,
p<0.001). (B-D) Median time to discharge (1.0 vs.
3.0 days, p<0.001), median time to RT (69.5 vs. 85.0
days, p<0.001), and median postoperative time to RT
(46.0 vs. 51.5 days, p=0.010) were all significantly shorter
for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery compared to those undergoing open
surgery.
