First seen Feb 25, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests whether closing a gap in the diaphragm during robotic surgery for esophageal cancer can prevent a type of hernia (para-conduit hernia) that sometimes occurs after the operation. About 40 adults with esophageal cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard approach or the extra closure step. The goal is to see if the extra step reduces hernia rates and improves recovery.
