As part of the growing and well-known series, Master Techniques in Surgery, edited by Dr.
Fischer, this book focuses on esophageal surgery. These specialty volumes complement the
well-known Mastery of Surgery book, also edited by Dr. Fischer. Although there are many
standard textbooks in general surgery, thoracic surgery, and some on esophageal surgery, this
book is unique in that it focuses on the technical aspects of esophageal surgery. Esophageal
surgery is complex, and this textbook, which is entirely devoted to surgery of the esophagus,
should serve as a useful complement to some of the existing comprehensive textbooks in
esophageal, general, and thoracic surgery, as well as serve as link between a classical
textbook and an atlas.
The contributions to the text are led by world-renowned surgeons with expertise in
complex esophageal surgery. This book is intended for anyone interested in esophageal
diseases—including medical students, gastroenterologists, general and thoracic surgery
residents and other trainees, faculty, and practicing surgeons. The textbook covers the
spectrum of surgical techniques to treat esophageal diseases, and is organized in six sections,
each covering a specific area of esophageal surgery.
Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) is a very common condition in Western countries, and
surgeons are referred many patients who have failed medical therapy or have developed
complications related to reflux. Section 1 is devoted to the surgical treatment of GERD.
Surgical treatment of paraesophageal hernia is also discussed in this section. There are a total
of 13 chapters in this section by leading experts in the field, covering a wide gamut of
surgical approaches to GERD from commonly used procedures such as the laparoscopic
Nissen fundoplication to the Hill Repair to complex transthoracic approaches such as the
Belsey fundoplication. In addition, complex esophageal procedures—the management of giant
paraesophageal hernia and reoperative antireflux surgery—are described in detail in this
section. Further, an endoscopic approach to fundoplication is also described. There is now
increasing evidence that obesity correlates with GERD, and therefore, we have included a
chapter on gastric bypass in this section as well.
In Section 2, the surgical treatment of esophageal motility disorders, such as achalasia and
esophageal diverticula, are addressed. Included in this section are chapters describing both
the open and the minimally invasive approaches to achalasia and repair of cricopharyngeal
(Zenker’s) and epiphrenic diverticula.
The incidence of esophageal cancer is increasing at an alarming rate, primarily because of
an increasing incidence of adenocarcinoma particularly in the Western countries. Surgical
resection is an important component of treatment; however, it is a complex operation. In Section 3, the techniques and approaches for esophageal resection are addressed, and this
includes a total of nine chapters describing the open approaches as well as the minimally
invasive approach to esophageal resection. Open and minimally invasive resection of benign
esophageal tumors are covered in Section 4.
In Section 5, endoscopic ablative therapies, such as radiofrequency ablation and mucosal
resection, for the treatment of Barrett’s esophagus are addressed. While esophagectomy is the
standard treatment for esophageal cancer, less invasive therapies may be applicable in the
high-risk patient with Barrett’s esophagus and high-grade dysplasia, as well as in very highly
selected patients with intramucosal adenocarcinoma. Finally, in Section 6, the techniques for
the treatment of other conditions, such as esophageal perforation and diaphragmatic hernia,
and the techniques of stenting and dilation are addressed.
The readers should find this text very useful in updating their knowledge, and it will serve
as a practical guide in esophageal surgery. We would like to thank the publisher, and in
particular Brendan Huffman, Keith Donnellan, and Aptara project manager Abhishan Sharma
for their hard work and persistence in getting this work completed. We would also like to
thank Shannon Wyszomierski for the excellent editorial assistance she provided in completing
this work.
We hope readers find this book to be a very interesting and a valuable reference in
esophageal surgery.
