Experimental: Surgical intervention
Patients will undergo standard resection and gastrointestinal anastomosis and will then have reinforcement of the anastomosis with MatriStem PSM. Patients undergoing esophagectomy, PG or TG will be evaluated with one routine postoperative contrast swallow study at post-operative day #4-10.
|
Device: MatriStem PSM
All esophageal anastomoses will be reinforced circumferentially with ACell MatriStem PSM. |
- rates of anastomotic leak. [ Time Frame: up to 10 days ]Anastomotic leak will be assessed by clinical observation and one postoperative contrast study (thin-barium Gastrografin or Omnipaque swallow)
- stricture formation clinically and by determination of dysphagia score [ Time Frame: 90 days postoperatively ]Patients will be evaluated in the outpatient clinic and will be assigned a dysphagia score from 0-4 by the RSA. Patients reporting symptoms consistent with stricture will be evaluated with radiographic contrast swallow study or endoscopy.
- cost metrics [ Time Frame: postoperatively (+/- 14 days) ]Data for cost metrics will be collected postoperatively through POD90 (+/- 14 days). These include metrics such as Length of Stay, Readmission, Complications, Reoperation and Total Hospital Bill.
