Abstract

The standard treatment of operable Cancer of the oesophagus in absence of medical contraindication is surgery. The first step in planning treatment is accurate staging of the disease. Surgical approaches may be transthoracic total esophagectomy with intra-thoracic anastomosis (IVOR-Lewis), transhiatal esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis and esophagectomy through left thoracoabdominal approach.
