dr Mattox.
Well, i will not argue with the surgery because i think your team is 
the only one who is actually seen the patient.
But i want to ask you why you didnt leave any way to feed him 
enteral way?
Abut the chest tubes if they dont drain anything i would take them 
out after the patient is eating. I have tried metilen blue swallow 
and if there is still a hole you can see them in the chest tubes, so 
you dont need to do an espophagus swallow in the early days.
If you have a neg test with the food , you can take the chest tubes 
right away.
