oesophagectomy

The reported postoperative mortality after oesophagectomy for carcinoma varies between 10 and 16%.

The survival of patients with an adenocarcinoma in Barrett's oesophagus is low, even after oesophagectomy.

Reconstructive surgery using stomach, colon, or jejunum, with or without oesophagectomy, has been performed to relieve dysphagia.

Three had gastrotomy and intubation or gastroenterostomy and biopsy only, four had partial oesophagectomy for squamous tumours, 10 had total gastrectomies, and seven had partial gastrectomies.
