Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Randomized Comparison of Gastric Tube Reconstruction With and Without Duodenal Diversion Plus Roux-en-Y Anastomosis After Esophagectomy.
This prospective randomized phase-II trial examined whether gastric reconstruction with duodenal diversion plus Roux-en-Y anastomosis(RY) minimized gastroduodenal reflux and delayed gastric emptying compared with standard gastric reconstruction. ⋯ Gastric reconstruction with duodenal diversion plus RY is effective in improving both gastroduodenal reflux and delayed gastric emptying.
