First seen Feb 27, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study compares two ways to help the stomach empty properly after surgery to remove the esophagus (esophagectomy). One method uses Botox injections into the stomach valve, and the other is a surgical cut (pyloromyotomy). The goal is to see if Botox works as well as surgery at preventing slow stomach emptying and related discomfort. About 170 adults having elective esophagectomy will take part and report their symptoms for up to 2 years.
