Journal ArticleDOI

The other explanation for dyspnea: giant paraesophageal hiatal hernia repair routinely improves pulmonary function.

TL;DR: Large PEHs, characterized by a percentage of intrathoracic stomach >75%, was strongly associated with 'significant' improvement in FEV1 (P = 0.001) and surgical repair can result in a significant improvement in dyspnea and pulmonary function score that is independent of preoperative pulmonary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term variation in skeletal muscle and adiposity in patients undergoing esophagectomy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined long-term variation in body composition in patients undergoing esophagectomy for cancer and associated those changes with survival, and provided evidence of the importance of body composition, in particular depletion of skeletal muscle, in predicting survival following esophageal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

18F FDG-PET/CT evaluation of histological response after neoadjuvant treatment in patients with cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction.

TL;DR: Evaluated changes in PET parameters in relation to the histological primary tumor response in the surgical specimen show that changes in the rate of SUR can be used reliably to differentiate histological responders from non-responders after neoadjuvant treatment with either chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutritional jejunostomy in esophagectomy for cancer, a national register-based cohort study of associations with postoperative outcomes and survival

TL;DR: Patients in the jejunostomy group with anastomotic leaks had a statistically significant lower risk for severe morbidity defined as Clavien-Dindo score ≥ IIIb (adjusted odds ratio 0.19, 95% CI: 0.04–0.94, P = 0.041) compared to patients with anastsomatic leaks and no je junostomy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endoscopic vacuum therapy for anastomotic leak after esophagectomy: a single-center's early experience.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported their current complete experience with endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) as primary treatment for anastomotic leak following esophagectomy, and concluded that EVT seems to be a safe and feasible therapy option for upper gastrointestinal anastOMotic leaks.
