  • * A review of nine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 529 patients indicated no significant differences in mortality, anastomosis leakage, respiratory issues, or vomiting, though results regarding gastric emptying time (GET) presented mixed findings.
  • * The study suggests that pyloric drainage is not essential in these operations, but emphasizes the need for further research, especially in European contexts, to draw more definitive conclusions.

Introduction: Anastomotic strictures following esophagectomy occur frequently and impact on nutrition and quality of life. Although strictures are often attributed to ischemia and anastomotic leaks, the role of anastomosis size and pyloroplasty is not well evaluated. Our study aims to assess the rate of and risk factors for anastomotic stricture following esophagectomy, and the impact of treatment with regular endoscopic balloon dilatations.

Background: Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common complication after esophagectomy. BOTOX injections and pyloric surgeries (PS), including pyloroplasty (PP) and pyloromyotomy (PM), are performed intraoperatively as prophylaxis against DGE. This study compares the effects of pyloric BOTOX injection and PS for preventing DGE post-esophagectomy.

Background: Pyloroplasty is an effective surgery for gastroparesis. However, some patients fail to improve after pyloric drainage and may require subsequent gastric electric stimulation. There is a paucity of data on the efficacy of gastric stimulator as an adjunct to failed pyloroplasty.
