Evaluation of the Circulatory Status of Stomach Tube and Gastrooesophageal Anastomosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Detailed 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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Impact of local microcirculatory changes on the thoracooesophegial anastomosis after cancer oesophagus surgery [6 months]
Repeated measurements of microcirculation With laser dopper flometer and visible light spectrometry shall be performed trans serosally of the stoach and gastric tube to register changes in microcirculation. Patients shall be followed up for anastomotic leaks. Besides CT angiography shall be performed before surgery.
