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 connection between the throat and stomach is rebuilt. Replaces catalogue # 265494 (English) Colour
