Doctors test Pre-Surgery 'Conditioning' to help stomachs heal better
NCT ID NCT03896399
Summary
This study tested a two-step surgery for people with esophageal cancer who also had hardened arteries, which can increase the risk of a leak after the main cancer surgery. First, doctors performed a small laparoscopic procedure to prepare the stomach's blood supply. Then, 12-18 days later, they performed the main cancer-removal surgery. The goal was to see if this preparatory step was safe and could help the stomach heal better, reducing the chance of a dangerous leak.
