Esophagectomy

Esophagectomy is a commonly used surgical method for the treatment of esophageal tumors and long esophageal scars and stenosis, and repeated esophageal deformities. If patients with esophageal cancer undergo esophagectomy, if there is no obvious lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis around the lesion, and the malignancy of the cancer is not high, good postoperative results can be obtained, and long-term survival can be achieved with a good prognosis. . Conversely, if the tumor is highly malignant and has local or distant metastases, the prognosis is poor. Other benign diseases have a good prognosis after esophagectomy.
