SPY-QP–guided perfusion assessment to prevent esophagogastric anastomotic leakage: protocol for the SPYMIE study

Key Points

• Prevention of esophagogastric anastomotic leakage is the main aim, enhancing surgical safety.
• Primary outcomes include the assessment of leakage rates following surgeries over a specified time frame.
• Randomized controlled trial protocol aims to utilize SPY-QP-guided methods, ensuring rigorous assessments.
• Significance lies in potentially reducing complications, needing further validation in real-world surgical settings.
