Botox shot tested as alternative to stomach surgery after cancer operation
NCT ID NCT06721520
Summary
This study compares two methods to help food move properly from the stomach after surgery to remove the esophagus (esophagectomy). Researchers want to see if injecting Botox into a stomach valve works as well as a standard surgical cut (pyloromyotomy) at preventing uncomfortable symptoms like bloating and nausea. About 170 patients having this major surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the Botox injection or the surgical cut during their operation, then tracked for two years.
