Abstract

Esophageal cancer surgery is a challenge despite the advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care. It continues to have high rates of complications and mortality, even in large volume centers. This paper revises the epidemiology, staging and therapeutic options for esophageal cancer, according to its stage and location. It also encompasses the digestive tract reconstruction options, according to our own experience and reports from abroad.
