Abstract

There are no compelling data to support a disease-free or overall survival benefit for any one of the various surgical techniques over another for esophageal carcinoma. Each technique has advantages. Transhiatal esophagectomy has been shown to be safe, with fewer pulmonary complications than the transthoracic approach and a more benign clinical course in the event of an anastomotic leak from a cervical esophagogastrostomy, thereby resulting in reduced perioperative mortality.
