    TITLE: ENDOSCOPIC PYLOROMYOTOMY IN MINIMALLY INVASIVE ESOPHAGECTOMY: A NOVEL APPROACH. THIS STUDY IS NOT DESIGNED TO STUDY IF PYLORIC DRAINAGE IS BETTER THAN NO-DRAINAGE, BUT RATHER ADDRESSES THE QUESTION IF A NOVEL, TECHNICALLY FACILE, ENDOSCOPIC TECHNIQUE CAN REPLACE A SURGICAL APPROACH IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING MIE IN WHOM A DRAINAGE PROCEDURE IS PLANNED. THIS IS A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF A PROSPECTIVELY MAINTAINED INSTITUTIONAL DATABASE OF ESOPHAGECTOMIES PERFORMED AT THE THORACIC SURGERY SERVICE IN MCGILL UNIVERSITY HEALTH CENTRE. ALL 94 PATIENTS UNDERGOING MINIMALLY INVASIVE ESOPHAGECTOMY (MIE) FOR CANCER FROM JANUARY 2010 TO DECEMBER 2019 WERE IDENTIFIED. 3-0 PDS SUTURES, HARMONIC SCALPEL AND 3-0 VICRYL SUTURE WERE USED . REPORTED COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED ANASTOMOTIC LEAKAGE (N=10), PULMONARY COMPLICATIONS (N=19) MORTALITY (N=2). IN CONCLUSION ENDOSCOPIC PYLOROMYOTOMY USING A NOVEL APPROACH IS A SAFE, QUICK AND REPRODUCIBLE TECHNIQUE WITH COMPARABLE RESULTS TO A SURGICAL PM IN THE SETTING OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE ESOPHAGECTOMY (MIE).
