The following chapter outlines the principles of esophageal resection and reconstruction and details the techniques of the various approaches to esophagectomy including transhiatal esophagectomy, Ivor Lewis esophagectomy, Hole McKeown esophagectomy, and minimally invasive esophagectomy. This chapter also discusses common complications after esophagectomy and management strategies. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020. All rights reserved.
