At Mount Elizabeth Hospital, Esophagectomy is performed using specialized gastrointestinal and thoracic surgical techniques with comprehensive cancer staging and multidisciplinary assessment. Established in 1979, this JCI accredited hospital in Singapore, Singapore has 345 beds and offers advanced surgical oncology, thoracic surgery, gastroenterology, and critical-care services.

Esophagectomy may be considered for selected patients with resectable esophageal cancer and certain other serious esophageal conditions. Before surgery, the specialist team evaluates tumor location and stage, nutritional status, cardiopulmonary fitness, and overall health. During the procedure, the diseased portion of the esophagus is removed along with surrounding tissues and, when appropriate, nearby lymph nodes, followed by reconstruction to restore continuity of the digestive tract.
