Transhiatal esophagectomy
Abstract :
Although surgical techniques and postoperative and oncological care have improved, esophageal cancer still has a high mortality rate. The basic treatment for localized esophageal tumors is surgery. Esophagectomy and esophagogastrostomy could mainly be performed in two ways; transthoracic and transhiatal For patients who can not tolerate thoracotomy, transhiatal intervention is preferable, especially if the tumor is localized at the distal or high-end.
