Evaluation of the Circulatory Status of Stomach Tube and Gastrooesophageal Anastomosis

University of Oslo (UIO)

Status: Completed

Conditions: Circulatory; Change; Microcirculation

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT03724162

LDFLVS Ca oesophagus

Details and patient eligibility

About

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.

Full 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.

Enrollment: 12 patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients with oesophageal carcinoma planned to have thoracolaparoscopic operation and thoracic gastroesophageal anastomosis shall be included.

Exclusion Criteria: Patients who do not give written consent will not be included.
