What Is Esophagus Resection?

Esophagus resection is a procedure to surgically remove diseased portions of your esophagus. There are many ways to perform an esophagus reconstruction. They all include these two steps:

  • Removing the majority of your esophagus and surrounding lymph nodes
  • Moving your stomach up and attaching it to the remaining portion of your esophagus

Research shows that complex procedures, specifically esophagus resection, are most successful when performed at high volume medical centers by experienced surgeons with advanced training. As the highest volume esophagus resection center in the San Francisco Bay Area, Stanford Health Care delivers this lifesaving treatment with exceptional outcomes.

If dysplasia (damaged cells) from Barrett's esophagus turns cancerous but has not spread to other parts of your body, an esophagus resection can remove the cancer and help you live a normal life.
