A pleasure to present at #ESDE2025 on the @OGAAudit If you are an oesophageal surgeon please consider completing our survey on psychological issues affecting surgeons after complications - QRcode below

So proud today. The culmination of 9 years of work, European and UK collaborations, most importantly developing a tool we can use in clinical practice to identify patients who need support after esophagectomy. @ISDE_net @Augishealth @HeartburnCancer @OPA_UK @NDSurgicalSci

@ziadtawad @ISDE_net Start the stapling in the abdomen; and don’t bring up loads of conduit to the chest; keep the pylorus and part of the distal stomach in the abdomen. Anastomosis as high as possible.

Please take some time to fill in this survey aiming to understand the impact of OG complications on surgeons

[Svetlana Lakunina (@chashashuli) @chashashuli]

Excited to share our survey exploring the impact of complications on consultants oesophagogastric surgeons with the aim to improve support for surgical community.
Would be grateful if you could spare 10 minutes of your time to fill out the survey below:

[Ewen A Griffiths @EwenGriffiths]

@Oesophagusuk @ImperialSandC AL are rarely purely technical. It’s complex interplay between multiple risk factors (patient, oncology, timing, nutrition, learning curve), tissue perfusion; tension and the microbiome. We need to move away from blaming surgeons for this problem and change the narrative

📢The @ROMIOStudy results have just been published in @BJSurgery
They found no evidence of a difference between recovery time and complications when comparing standard and keyhole surgical incisions for the treatment of oesophageal #cancer.

CT esophagram Day 4 after esophagectomy- anyone still doing conventional upright esophagram? @LFerri123 @MagnusNsurgonc @MarkarSheraz @EwenGriffiths @ElliotServaisMD

[OG Anastomosis Audit @OGAAudit]

@SWexner @SurgJournal Were they prophylactically sponging dodgy looking anastomoses early???

[OG Anastomosis Audit @OGAAudit]

@SWexner @AmCollSurgeons Interesting. Any other centres doing this closure of the mediastinal envelop? Probably not possible with radical pleural resection? https://t.co/vpkJwwGFTt

Neck dissection for three stage or transhiatal is difficult. Great to practise this on the cadaver. This is one of the best articles to learn this approach safely.

[Ewen A Griffiths @EwenGriffiths]

Lots of anastomotic techniques videos we have collected for the previous @OGAAudit study here

[Ewen A Griffiths @EwenGriffiths]

What anastomotic technique is best? Probably doesn’t matter much - use a technique that works for you and is safe in your hands.
