Flexible endoscopic cricopharyngeal myotomy with Thulium laser
Stefano Siboni, MD, Alberto Aiolfi, MD, Chiara Ceriani, MD, Marco Sozzi, MD, Luigi Bonavina, MD, FACS. IRCCS Policlinico San DonatoAims. Flexible endoscopic treatment of Zenker’s diverticulum is feasible, but electrocautery and CO2 laser technology carry the risk of collateral thermal injury. Thulium laser septum incision may overcome this limitation. We describe for the first time… Continue Reading
Esovac, an esophageal bypass device for the protection of esogastric anastomosis: preclinical results in pigs
Charam Khosrovani. Clinique FontvertIntroduction: Anastomotic leak is one of the most serious complications of esophageal surgery with a 30% post-operative death, reduced quality of life and negative outcome in cancer patients. Until now there is no efficient therapy to reduce the risks of esophageal anastomotic adverse events. Covered stents are routinely and successfully used in the… Continue Reading
