| Video Discription | Esophageal cancer. Daniel C. Wiener, MD, a thoracic surgeon at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, describes a minimally invasive esophagectomy to treat esophageal cancer. A minimally invasive esophagectomy begins with five small incisions, about the size a thumbnail, in the abdomen. Surgeons insert a camera and smaller laparoscopic instruments through the incisions. During this portion of the procedure surgeons free up the stomach from its blood supply and all of its attachments so that they can reconstruct the esophagus. At that same time surgeons also free up part of the esophagus located in the abdomen. Once the esophagus has been removed, the next step is to transform the stomach into a tube and reconnect it. While the new connection is healing patients receive nutritional support through a feeding tube. Within a month following the surgery a patient can resume a regular diet; though patients may need to eat smaller, more frequent meals until they have completely recovered. With one of the largest thoracic surgery divisions in the country, surgeons at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have extensive collective experience in the treatment of patients with esophageal cancer.
