Reoperative esophageal surgery
Abstract
Reoperative esophageal surgery can be a very challenging endeavor. Preoperative evaluation, planning and preparation are essential to optimize results. A general reoperative approach and the range of reconstructive options are outlined. Management of specific problems is discussed including stricture, recurrent gastroesophageal reflux, recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula, esophageal interposition, and recurrent achalasia.
