Protective subpleural blanketing of intrathoracic esogastric anastomosis after esophagectomy.

چکیده
Esophagectomy followed by intrathoracic anastomosis is threatened by leakage which may prove all the more serious that mediastinal contamination is extensive. In the technique presented, the esogastric anastomosis is slipped under the upper mediastinal pleura which is kept intact, after the azygos vein has been ligated and divided. This pleural 'blanket' may act as an efficient barrier against potential digestive spillage into the mediastinum.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We sought to develop a simulation model that accurately replicates the challenges of the thoracoscopic intrathoracic anastomosis. This model is intended to serve as a teaching tool during the introduction to, and development of, the skills required to perform a thoracoscopic intrathoracic anastomosis during an Ivor Lewis minimally invasive esophagectomy. METHODS The ...
