Study Objectives / Outcomes
· The purpose of the current study is to assess the role of pyloric drainage procedure on altering the reflux and dumping effect on the quality of life in patients who underwent esophagectomy. We hypothesize that the patients who underwent minimally invasive esophagectomies without pyloric drainage experience less reflux and dumping symptoms and therefore have a better quality of life.
