A Prospective Trial to Evaluate Whether Variations in Tissue Oxygenation Are Associated With Anastomotic Leak Rates After an Ivor Lewis Esophagectomy
The purpose of this study is to test whether after an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (the removal
of a portion of the stomach and esophagus with re-attachment) there is an association
between the intraoperative level of oxygen at the site where the esophagus is re-attached to
the stomach (measured using the Wipox), and the incidence of a disruption at the site of the
attachment after the surgery.
