Esophageal Self Dilation Therapy - An Effective Alternative at Mayo Clinic

Self-Dilation of Refractory Esophageal Stricture

An esophagectomy is a surgical procedure where part or all of the esophagus-the tube that connects your throat to your stomach-is removed, often due to cancer or severe damage. The remaining part of the esophagus is then connected to the stomach, or the stomach is moved up to replace it. It's a major operation that can significantly impact swallowing and digestion, but it's sometimes necessary to treat or manage certain conditions effectively. #esophagealcancer #esophagectomy #barrettsesophagus
