Esophagectomy is one of the more complex surgical procedures. Indications for esophagectomy include resection for cancer, severe esophagealdysmotility, reflux, trauma - i.e. perforation. For cancer, the goals are to remove involved or potentially involved adjacent tissue such as the periesophageal fat, nodes, and pericardiumto achieve a negative margin (R0), to re-establish intestinal continuity, to assess the biology of the malignancy and response to induction therapy, and to minimize the disability from the procedure. Numerous approaches have evolved to accomplish these goals.
