Abstract

For many years, surgical resection of the esophagus and subsequent reconstruction of enteral continuity was a formidable challenge for surgeons and patients alike. Since the first esophageal resection, much has been learned about the anatomical and physiological aspects of esophagectomy. One type of esophageal resection and reconstruction has been referred to as Ivor Lewis esophagectomy, after a British surgeon who utilized an abdominal incision and right thoracotomy to resect the cancer of the esophagus. Herein, we describe our modified approach with this technique.
