First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tested a two-step surgery approach for 22 people with esophageal cancer who had hardened arteries, which raises the risk of leaks after the main surgery. First, doctors performed a keyhole procedure to prepare the stomach by improving its blood supply. About two weeks later, the main cancer-removal surgery was done. The goal was to see if this preparation step was safe and could lower serious complications.
