Clinical Trial: The Optimal Width of Gastric Conduit for Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy: Wide or Narrow?

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Study on the Difference of Anastomotic Leakage Ratio Between Wide and Narrow Gastric Conduit During Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy

Brief Summary: The study hypothesized that a narrow gastric conduit(less than 3cm in width) would minimize anastomotic leakage following minimally invasive esophagectomy. Therefore we raise this random-controlled research, and investigate the leakage ratio from different widths of gastric conduit formed during the operation.

Detailed Summary: Patients underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University will be enrolled and be assigned to wide or narrow gastric conduit group randomly. Intra-operative blood supply and vascular SaO2 will be observed during the operation, and the rate of anastomotic leakage, together with its clinical details will be recorded in the two groups.
Sponsor: Fudan University

Current Primary Outcome: The anastomotic leakage rate [ Time Frame: the anastomotic leakage of participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks ]

The anastomotic leakage is a severe complication following minimally invasive esophagectomy. The definition of anastomotic leakage is determined as per the STS (SOCIETY OF THORACIC SURGEONS) database.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:
