To directly evaluate the gastric tube microcirculation with Dark Sidestream imaging during minimal invasive esophageal resection on several locations, i.e. from best arterial blood supply (antrum) to worst (fundus). Furthermore, to evaluate the…
In this study the effect of the pneumoperitoneum on the intestine of children is objectified by measuring the iFABP levels in the urine, as an indicator for the ischemia or damage to the intestine. To exclude any iFABP increase due to intestinal…
