Clinical Trial: Impact of Preserving Versus Ligating the Right Gastric Artery on Anastomotic Outcomes After McKeown Esophagectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

U.S., Jan. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07363629) titled 'Impact of Preserving Versus Ligating the Right Gastric Artery on Anastomotic Outcomes After McKeown Esophagectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial' on Jan. 15.

Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial evaluates the impact of preserving versus ligating the Right Gastric Artery (RGA) on postoperative anastomotic complications in patients undergoing McKeown minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Specifically, the study compares the incidence of anastomotic leakage and stenosis between two groups of patients reconstructed with a 3cm-wide gastric conduit.
