Transhiatal Esophagectomy
Transhiatal Esophagectomy
In the transhiatal esophagectomy, the esophageal tumor is removed through abdominal incision, without thoracotomy, and a left neck incision. The esophagogastric anastomosis is located in the neck. This procedure may also be considered "minimally invasive" as compared with the Ivor Lewis esophagectomy and the three incision esophagectomy.
