Abstract:
Esophagectomy following preoperative chemoradiation provides the best outcomes in the treatment of early stage esophageal carcinoma. The exposure of the mediastinum during transhiatal esophagectomy is limited. We describe our technique of mediastinal dissection during the transhiatal esophagectomy using a newly developed transhiatal retractor.
