Background Intraoperative pyloric drainage in esophagectomy may reduce delayed gastric
emptying (DGE) but is associated with risk of biliary reflux and other complications. Existing …

This systematic review investigates the effect of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) therapy on
cancer-related disorders. A major bulk of the literature is focused on BoNT's effect on pain at …

Background While our institutional approach to esophageal resection for cancer has
traditionally favored a minimally invasive (MI) 3-hole, McKeown esophagectomy (MIE 3 …

Introduction Pyloric drainage during minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) may be more
technically challenging than with an open approach. Alternatives to classic surgical …

Objective: The topic of this meta-analysis is the comparison of gastric conduit esophageal
reconstructions with or without pyloroplasty. Background: Surgical procedures, especially …

Background Denervation of the pylorus after oesophagectomy is considered the principal
factor responsible for delayed gastric emptying. Several studies have attempted to delineate …

Purpose Surgical pyloroplasty or pyloromyotomy are often performed during
esophagectomy with a view of improving gastric conduit drainage. However, the clinical …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intraoperative botulinum toxin (BT)
injection on delayed gastric emptying (DGE) and need for endoscopic pyloric intervention …

Background Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) occurs in up to 40% of patients after
esophageal resection and prolongs recovery and hospital stay. Surgically pyloroplasty does …

Pyloroplasty or pyloromyotomy is often undertaken during esophagectomy to aid gastric
emptying postoperatively. Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) frequently omits a …
