Esophageal tumor surgery is a therapy approach that involves surgical removal of tumors detected on the esophagus (esophagus). These types of surgical interventions are often associated with conditions i.e. cancer or other tumors of the esophagus.
Surgery may vary depending on the size, location, spread of the tumor and the general health of the patient. Open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, particularly laparoscopic surgery, may be utilized. Throughout the surgery, the esophageal tumor and surrounding tissues are removed, and sometimes the lymph nodes are also examined.
Esophageal tumor surgery may be a treatment alternative in the early stages of the tumor and when it is locally limited. However, the treatment plan is personalized depending on the patient’s condition, the characteristics of the tumor, and other factors
Laparoscopic esophageal tumor surgery is a procedure which performs the removal of tumors on the esophagus (esophagus) with a minimally invasive surgical method. Surgery by utilizing this laparoscopic technique is less invasive than traditional open surgery.
The laparoscopic technique is performed via small incisions made in the abdominal region with the aid of a camera and surgical instruments. The surgeon removes the tumor by entering through these incisions and may also clean the surrounding tissues if required. Advantages of this method may involve smaller scars, less pain, faster healing process, and shortened hospital stay.
Nevertheless, surgical intervention may vary depending on the type, size, and spread of the tumor. Laparoscopic esophageal tumor surgery is a preferable option in eligible patients and surgical conditions.
