Esophagectomy involves removal of the affected portion of the esophagus and reconstruction of the food passage. Depending on the location of the disease and the surgical approach, the stomach is commonly brought upward and connected to the remaining esophagus. Lymph node removal may also be performed to support cancer staging and treatment. In selected cases, minimally invasive or robotic-assisted surgery may be used to reduce the extent of surgical incisions while maintaining the required surgical access.
