Abstract
The modified technique of abdomino-right-thoracic esophagectomy (the Lewis-Tanner approach) is increasingly being favoured as the surgical procedure of choice in patients with resectable adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus, so-called Barrett's cancer. The technical details of this procedure and the reconstruction of gastrointestinal continuity using a gastric tube with high intrathoracic anastomosis are illustrated, as they have proved useful in our own practice during recent years.Entities:
