Esophagectomy cancer surgery removes the oesophagus and replaces this swallowing tube with another organ's part. For this purpose, primarily the stomach is used.
This surgery is performed with minimally invasive through laparoscopy or robot assistance. Sometimes, doctors even rely on both approaches. When the time is right, the patient with esophagus cancer is advised to go on esophagectomy via small incisions. It helps them recover fast.

The best esophagectomy cancer surgery is performed when the patient suffers from Esophageal Cancer, End-stage Achalasia, Strictures, and Damaged esophagus lining.
Here's the surgical process:
- Doctors give patients anesthesia that puts them to sleep.
- Then, a tiny incision is made in the neck or chest.
- The patient's esophagus is removed and replaced with the stomach, small or large intestine.
The removal of the esophagus becomes mandatory when the cancerous cells start spreading their roots in other parts of the body.
