Esophagectomy may lead to impairment in gastric emptying, unless a pyloroplasty or pyloromyotomy is performed. These procedures may be technically challenging during minimally invasive esophagectomy, and they are associated with a small but definable morbidity, such as leakage and dumping syndrome. We sought to determine the results of our early experience with injecting the pylorus with botulinum toxin instead of conventional pyloric drainage.
