First seen Feb 27, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study compares two methods to help the stomach empty properly after the esophagus is removed (esophagectomy) for cancer or other diseases. One method uses Botox injections into the stomach valve, the other is a surgical cut (pyloromyotomy). The goal is to see if Botox works as well as surgery to reduce symptoms like bloating and nausea. About 170 adults having planned esophagus removal will take part and report their symptoms for up to 2 years.
