Esophagectomy is performed under general anaesthesia using an approach selected according to the location and extent of disease and the patient's clinical condition. The operation may involve access through the chest, abdomen, or neck, depending on the surgical technique. Following removal of the diseased oesophagus, the digestive tract is reconstructed, commonly using the stomach. Patients require close postoperative monitoring for complications such as leakage at the surgical connection, infection, respiratory problems, bleeding, or nutritional difficulties.

Established in 1953, the accredited hospital is located in Lustmuhle, Switzerland and has 95 beds, providing comprehensive surgical and oncology care for local and international patients.
Esophagectomy is a major surgical procedure used to remove part or most of the esophagus, commonly for the treatment of esophageal cancer. The removed section may be replaced by reconstructing the digestive tract, often using the stomach or, in selected cases, part of the intestine. Depending on the tumor's location, stage, and the patient's overall condition, the procedure may be performed through open, minimally invasive, or robotic-assisted techniques.
