Esophagectomy is a high-risk operation with significant perioperative morbidity and mortality. Attention to detail in many areas of perioperative management should lead to an aggregation of marginal gains and improvement in postoperative outcome. This review addresses preoperative assessment and patient selection, perioperative care (focusing on ...

Transhiatal esophagectomy (THE) with cervical esophogastric anastomosis avoids thoracotomy and the potential for sepsis from an intrathoracic anastomotic leak. Knowledge of anatomy, careful attention to details of the operation, and good judgment toward patient selection will allow THE to be a valuable tool in the surgical palliation of esophageal ...

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2005
Controversy still remains regarding the appropriateness of THE asa cancer operation. Critics argue that without an en bloc mediastinal lymphadenectomy, THE does not provide accurate staging or the potential for a curative procedure; however, operative margins are similar after transthoracic and transhiatal esophagectomy, and van Sandick and co-workers ...

Minimally invasive esophagectomy
The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2021Minimally invasive esophagectomy is increasingly becoming the surgical treatment of choice for esophageal cancer. The goal of this technique is to reduce the rate of respiratory complications associated with thoracotomy while taking advantage of the benefits of reduced mortality associated with minimally invasive techniques. However, minimally invasive

Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2011
"Open" esophagectomy has been the standard of care for treatment of esophageal carcinoma against which evolving minimally invasive surgical, endoscopic, and non-operative therapies must be compared. In experienced hands and with appropriate patient selection, "open" esophagectomy can achieve good rates of cure with low mortality, acceptable morbidity ...

A pioneer of this technique was Orringer, with the largest experience world-wide (1085 patients). THE is associated with a lower morbidity compared with the transthoracic approach, but much controversy exists on whether THE is a ...
