Postoperative complications mainly include infectious issues, such as pulmonary infections and anastomotic leakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PERSuaDER trial aims to prevent these complications by targeting pathogenic microbial flora in the oropharyngeal and upper-gastro-intestinal tract. With a combination of antimicrobial (Colistin, Tobramycin) and antifungal (Amphotericin-B) compounds, called selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD), the pathogenic aerobic gram-negative rods and yeasts are reduced, while anaerobic, protective microbiota are preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pragmatic, randomized, controlled trial is organized in a multicenter, binational setting. In total, 16 Dutch and Belgian centers participate in this scientific initiative sponsored by ZonMW and KCE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1060\" src=\"https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-03-1280x1060.png\"alt=\"Radboud UMC - 2026-04-28-03-1280x1060\"class=\"wp-image-2217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-03-1280x1060.png 1280w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-03-618x512.png 618w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-03-300x248.png 300w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-03-768x636.png 768w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-03-1536x1272.png 1536w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-03-2048x1696.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"984\" src=\"https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-02-1280x984.png\"alt=\"Radboud UMC - 2026-04-28-02-1280x984\"class=\"wp-image-2219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-02-1280x984.png 1280w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-02-666x512.png 666w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-02-300x231.png 300w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-02-768x590.png 768w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-02-1536x1181.png 1536w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-02-2048x1575.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1009\" src=\"https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-01-1280x1009.png\"alt=\"Radboud UMC - 2026-04-28-01-1280x1009\"class=\"wp-image-2221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-01-1280x1009.png 1280w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-01-649x512.png 649w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-01-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-01-768x606.png 768w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-01-1536x1211.png 1536w, https:\/\/persuadertrial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-28-01-2048x1615.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PERSuaDER Trial Esophagectomy for cancer is a complex surgical procedure, associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates.
