Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL

SINGLE_GROUP
Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Surgical interventionMatriStem PSMPatients will undergo standard resection and gastrointestinal anastomosis and will then have reinforcement of the anastomosis with MatriStem PSM. Patients undergoing esophagectomy, PG or TG will be evaluated with one routine postoperative contrast swallow study at post-operative day #4-10.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Anastomotic Leak.up to 10 days

Anastomotic leak will be assessed by clinical observation and one postoperative contrast study (thin-barium Gastrografin or Omnipaque swallow)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Stricture Formation Clinically and by Determination of Dysphagia Score90 days postoperatively

Patients will be evaluated in the outpatient clinic and will be assigned a dysphagia score from 0-4 by the RSA. Patients reporting symptoms consistent with stricture will be evaluated with radiographic contrast swallow study or endoscopy.

Number of Participants Who Developed Anastomotic Stenosis90 days post op

If during the follow up period, patients report any symptoms suggestive of anastomotic stricture, a contrast study (esophagram) or endoscopy will be obtained at that time to evaluate for stricture. These tests will be performed as per standard postoperative assessment by the surgeon.
