Summary

This study tests whether using a laryngeal mask instead of a breathing tube during esophageal cancer surgery can reduce complications and speed up recovery. About 500 adults with resectable esophageal cancer will be randomly assigned to one of two anesthesia methods. The goal is to see if the non-intubated approach is as safe and effective as the standard method.
