First seen Feb 25, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 7 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 either the standard approach or the new closure technique. The goal is to see if the extra step reduces hernia rates and improves recovery without added risks.
