Brief Title: Evaluation of the Circulatory Status of Stomach Tube and Gastrooesophageal Anastomosis
Official Title: Impact of Circulatory Changes on Thoracic Anastomosis in Patients Undergoing Thoracolaparoscopic Surgery for Oesophageal Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT03724162
Brief Summary: The incidence of anastomotic leaks after gastroesophageal anastomosis after thoracolaparoscopic cancer esophagus surgery is high at the Oslo University Hospital. The patients selected for operation shall be investigated for microcirculatory changes at the thoracic anastomosis site and followed up for any post operative anastomotic leaks.
Detailed Description: - Microcirculation shall be evaluated during the operation with trans serosal laser doppler flowmetry and visible light spectroscopy (LDFVLS). Different anatomical areas of the stomach and gastric tube shall be examined With LDFVLS to find any changes in SO2, rHb, flow, and velocity. Repeat measurements shall be taken to compare them with the baseline measurements.
