Abstract
Esophagectomy for neoplasia includes removal of the cervical part of the esophagus combined with cervical lymphadenectomy and reconstruction by interposition of a free jejunal transplant with microvascular anastomoses.
Resection of a segment of up to 3 cm can be performed with primary anastomosis of the esophagus after adequate mobilization.
