Esophagus Surgery

Esophagus surgery in oncology refers to surgical procedures aimed at treating cancer of the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. The surgery may involve removing part or all of the esophagus, which is known as esophagectomy. This is typically done to eliminate cancerous tissue or to relieve symptoms caused by the cancer. The surgery can be complex, often requiring specialized techniques, and is usually followed by recovery and additional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation to ensure the best outcomes for the patient.
