Esophageal Surgery (Fraser Health) [English] Permalink Public
You are having surgery (an operation) to remove part or the whole esophagus because of damage from heartburn, injury, swallowing a caustic substance or poison, or cancer. The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the throat with the stomach. Some people call it the food pipe or gullet. If part or the whole esophagus is removed, we call it an ‘esophagectomy’. The connection between the throat and stomach is rebuilt. Replaces catalogue # 265494 (English) Colour
