Dear Sirs; I am posting this in your forum because the gastroenterology Doctors
wasn't taking questions. My brother ,age 57, had an operation for
esophagus cancer almost three years ago. They took out his entire
esophagus and pulled his stomach up behind his heart and attached it
to his throat. He has had a lot of trouble ever since. ater the surgegy
he retured to his heart doctor and he found that a staple had been left in
his throat. that doctor removed it and has been treated my brother for his throat ever since.
He gets invection in his head and sinus all the time. When they work he feel alot better.
Now to my point just resently my brother was in an automobil accident where they had to give him a cat
scan when they did this, they found two more staples in his lower stomach. His doctor says he
can remove one but the other is enbeded too far to risk it. My brother and I feel that these
staple are what s causeing his invections and making him sick all the time.
He has a metelic taste in his mouth all the time. he has to have his troat widened every so often also.
What effect can these staples cause my brother. It seem dangerous to me. He didnt sue the first time
but I think he should this time ,I think the doctors just sewed him up to
just die. and thats what makes me angery. Please answer about what these staples can do to him? thank you Pat

I sympathize with the difficulties your brother is going through, however
your questions should really be directed towards his GI surgeon, who
performed the initial procedure.
Thanks
