Distal pancreatectomy: risk factors for surgical failure in 302 consecutive cases.

TL;DR: Pancreatic leak remains a common complication after distal pancreatectomy, and this series suggests that stapler closure of the pancreatic remnant is associated with a significantly higher fistula rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

The prevalence of lymph node metastases in patients with T1 esophageal adenocarcinoma a retrospective review of esophagectomy specimens.

TL;DR: Adenocarcinoma invasive deeper than the muscularis mucosa is associated with a significant increase in the prevalence of lymph node metastases, and there is no "safe" level of invasion into the submucosa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intraoperative Assessment of Perfusion of the Gastric Graft and Correlation With Anastomotic Leaks After Esophagectomy.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of laser-assisted fluorescent-dye angiography to assess perfusion in gastric grafts and determine the relationship between perfusion and anastomotic leaks.
Journal ArticleDOI

A New Technique for Measurement of Pharyngeal pH: Normal Values and Discriminating pH Threshold
