A safe and simple technique for nasogastric tube insertion in patients with thoracic esophageal cancer surgery
Abstract
Background Risk factors for anastomotic leakage include local factors such as excessive tension across anastomosis and increased intraluminal pressure on the gastric conduit; therefore, we consider the placement of a nasogastric tube to be essential in reducing anastomotic leakage. In this study, we devised a safe and simple technique to place an NGT during an end-to-side, automatic circular-stapled esophagogastrostomy. Methods First, a 4-0...
