Abstract

The use of Vacuum Therapy (PEVT) is a modern approach that aims to treat possible complications from esophagectomy, such as leakage of the gastroesophageal anastomosis. Before that, the prophylactic use of the method, especially in high-risk patients, aims to prevent these complications, by accelerating the healing process. With the use of only one device, it is possible to allow postpyloric feeding and vacuum therapy, ensuring patient recovery, hospital discharge and earlier oral nutrition.
