Abstract
Objective: To optimize anastomotic technique and gastric conduit perfusion with hyperspectral imaging (HSI) for total minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) with linear stapled anastomosis. Summary Background Data: Esophagectomy is the mainstay of esophageal cancer treatment but anastomotic insufficiency related morbidity and mortality remain challenging for patient outcome. Methods: A live porcine model (n=50) for MIE was used with gastric conduit formation and linear stapled side-to-side esophagogastrostomy. Four main experimental groups differed in stapling length (3 vs. 6 cm) and anastomotic position on the conduit (cranial vs. caudal). Tissue oxygenation around the anastomotic site was evaluated using HSI and was validated with histopathology. Results: The tissue oxygenation (ΔStO2) after the anastomosis remained constant only for the short stapler in caudal position (-0.4±4.4%, n.s.) while it dropped markedly in the other groups (short-cranial: -15.6±11.5%, p=0.0002; long-cranial: -20.4±7.6%, p=0.0126; long-caudal: -16.1±9.4%, p<0.0001) Tissue samples from deoxygenated stomach as measured by HSI showed correspondent eosinophilic pre-necrotic changes in 35.7±9.7% of the surface area. Conclusions: Tissue oxygenation at the anastomotic site of the gastric conduit during MIE is influenced by stapling technique. Optimal oxygenation was achieved with a short stapler (3 cm) and sufficient distance of the anastomosis to the cranial end of the gastric conduit. HSI tissue deoxygenation corresponded to histopathologic necrotic tissue changes. These findings allow for optimization of gastric conduit perfusion and anastomotic technique in MIE.

Author contribution: ASF, FN and BPM had the original idea for the project. ASF and FN developed the project. ASF coordinated the whole project. ASF, FN, GS and KS performed the initial review of existing literature and the planning. ASF, KFK, BÖ, BPM and FN performed the surgeries. ASF and GS did the casting and the SEM recordings. ASF, IC, BÖ and JO developed the Python codes for data structure and annotation. ASF, SK, MMA, MD and KS annotated data. Image processing was performed by LRM, ASF, SK, SS, LA and LMH. ASF, MMA, GS, BÖ, JO, SK, KS, SS, LA, LRM and LMH analyzed and interpreted data. Statistical analysis was performed by ASF, KFK and FN. CS, OEH and JG supported the pathohistological analysis. ASF and FN drafted the figures and wrote the manuscript. SS, LRM, BPM, HK, IG, AB, CS, OEH and LMH revised the manuscript. All authors have read and approved the final manuscript.
