Decreased Conduit Perfusion Measured by Spectroscopy Is Associated With Anastomotic Complications

Background Gastric conduit ischemia during esophagectomy likely contributes to high anastomotic complication rates, yet we lack a reliable method to assess gastric conduit perfusion. We hypothesize that optical fiber spectroscopy (OFS) can reliably assess conduit perfusion and that the degree of int...
