Check how two bowel-reconstruction options affect daily life
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how surgeons rebuild the esophagus using either a jejunum (small intestine) or a colon (large intestine) piece, and how that affects your day-to-day function and quality of life. It may help doctors choose the approach that best supports recovery and independence for patients needing esophageal reconstruction.
