Abstract:
Surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment for esophageal cancer, although improvements have been made in surgical maneuvers and perioperative care, serious complications still occur after operation. The reconstruction of alimentary tract is a key procedure to ensure success of operation, it is related to perioperative complication and prognosis. Selection of procedure should be individualized based on the stage and location of the disease, medical condition and the surgeon's experience.
