Brief Title: Tissue Oxygenation Are Associated With Anastomotic Leak Rates After an Ivor Lewis Esophagectomy
Official Title: A Prospective Trial to Evaluate Whether Variations in Tissue Oxygenation Are Associated With Anastomotic Leak Rates After an Ivor Lewis Esophagectomy
Study ID: NCT01551433
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to test whether after an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (the removal of a portion of the stomach and esophagus with re-attachment) there is an association between the intraoperative level of oxygen at the site where the esophagus is re-attached to the stomach (measured using the Wipox), and the incidence of a disruption at the site of the attachment after the surgery.
