A Prospective Clinical Registry Investigating Outcomes of Elective Robotic Transhiatal Esophagectomy

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to collect and analyze short-term and long-term health outcomes from patients undergoing elective robotic transhiatal esophagectomy, a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the esophagus. The study focuses on adult patients having this procedure to better understand its effects on overall health and post-operative recovery. The registry seeks to identify factors that contribute to improved clinical outcomes and guide future surgical practices. The procedure studied is an elective robotic transhiatal esophagectomy, which involves removing the esophagus and reconstructing it using other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. This minimally invasive surgery is preferred due to generally lower morbidity compared to open surgeries. The study collects clinical and demographic data before, during, and after the procedure to assess various outcomes and surgical details. Participants will provide data on their health status before and after surgery, with researchers monitoring for complications such as leaks, strictures, pneumonia, and other post-operative events during the first three months after surgery. The study includes assessments of operative time, blood loss, and the surgical specimen. Safety and recovery outcomes, including hospital stay length and survival rates at 30 and 90 days post-operation, are also tracked. Participation involves data collection over the short and long term to evaluate the impact of this surgical approach.
