NCT06897501

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether the use of bronchial blocker could reduce the incidence of postoperative vocal cord palsy than the use of double-lumen endobronchial tube in robot-assisted esophagectomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative vocal cord palsy

    On postoperative day 7, ENT doctor will performed the laryngoscopy exam to check the presence of vocal cord palsy.

    On postoperative day 7 after robot-assisted esophagectomy

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of resected recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes

    At the end of surgery

  • Quality of one lung ventilation

    during one lung ventilation

  • Surgical difficulty reported by surgeon

    At the end of surgery
