Esophageal Stent Insertion for Postesophagectomy Anastomosis Site Leakage
In Ivor Lewis operation, anastomosis site leakage is a critical complication. Interventional approach utilizing covered metal stent has been introduced for the management of this complication. This patient was diagnosed as esophageal cancer and underwent robot-assisted Ivor Lewis operation. Due to symptoms suggesting anastomosis site leakage, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery exploration was...
متن کاملHand - sewn and stapled esophageal anastomosis . Experimental study in dogs
PURPOSE: To compare experimentally, the healing of cervical oesophageal anastomoses performed either with stapler or 2-layer hand-sewn sutures. METHODS: Thirty six dogs were randomised to two groups: stapled anastomoses (n = 18); hand-sewn anastomoses (n = 18). Each group was divided into three subgroups, corresponding to the day of sacrifice (3rd, 7th and 14th postoperative day). Healing was a...

متن کاملFlexing the neck relieves tension on cervical esophageal anastomosis.
BACKGROUND The conventional method of bridging anatomic defects of the upper digestive tract in the neck is by tissue transfer--either gastric or colon pull-through, free jejunal graft, or full-thickness skin flaps. An alternative way of closing such defects is to flex the neck. This moves the remnant proximal esophagus or pharynx a considerable distance downwards--a standard tension-releasing ...
متن کاملLengthening technique for long gap esophageal atresia and early anastomosis.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The treatment of long gap esophageal atresia remains a major surgical challenge. Whereas many approaches have been used for this problem, none are ideal. The authors used a technique originally described by Dr John E. Foker and accomplished early repair in 3 infants with long gap atresia. METHODS Three infants with esophageal atresia underwent thoracotomy shortly after birt...
