INTRODUCTION: Anastomotic leak is one of the major complications of esophagogastric surgery. Vacuum endoscopic treatment has been used as an effective strategy for treating leaks. Considering the effectiveness of vacuum therapy, some authors suggest its prophylactic use in risky anastomoses…

Salvage esophagectomy after definitive chemoradiotherapy treatment has traditionally been recognized as a feasible option. Robotic esophagectomy has been considered as alternative to minimize post operative complications. The thoracic field was performed robotically…

BACKGROUND: The standard approach for the treatment of patients with locally advanced adenocarcinomas of the gastroesophageal junction (AGEJ) includes perioperative chemotherapy (CMT) or chemoradiation therapy (CRT)…

SOCIETY: SSAT This panel will discuss new diagnostic methodologies and therapeutic techniques that have been added to the armamentarium for treating achalasia. Speakers will offer an up-to-date framework for making clinical decisions on the management of this disease…

In this session we will have leaders from around the world as represented by our international chapters. These surgeons will present cases that demonstrate unique challenges in clinical management they face in their practices and countries…

SOCIETY: SSAT In this panel, we will feature trainees and junior faculty from SSAT international partners to share similarities and differences in the surgical training paradigms across the globe…

Gastric Cancer (GC) is the 4th most common cancer worldwide. Our prior analysis has shown geographic differences in mortality outcomes…

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to evaluate, in an animal model, the potential role of botulinum toxin type A (BTX) in preventing the recurrence of incisional hernia by inducing paralysis of abdominal muscles…

INTRODUCTION: The main treatment options for cholestasis in advanced pancreas cancer are endoscopic stenting (ES), transhepatic drainage, and biliary bypass surgery (BBS). The aim of the current study is to compare the safety and efficacy of BBS and ES…

BACKGROUND: Siewert's topographic classification (SW) has been used for treatment plan of esophagogastric junction adenocarcinomas (EGJA). But recently, molecular classifications categorized EGJA with similar characteristics and prognosis…
