Abstract
The techniques of vagal preservation for use in esophagectomy without thoracotomy are presented. The purpose of vagal preservation is to avoid the debilitating postvagotomy syndrome. The technique of preservation varies depending on the mode of esophagectomy, the primary disease and the organ selected to be used for esophageal reconstruction. The postoperative quality of life is improved by the preservation of vagal function.Mesh:
