Esophagectomy
Esophagectomy Surgery in Bangalore
Esophagectomy treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore is the surgical removal of the oesophagus. The oesophagus is a tube that connects the throat (pharynx) to the stomach. Oesophageal cancer also called oesophageal adenocarcinoma, is a type of cancer that begins in cells that line the inside of the oesophagus.
It is performed in cases of cancer or other diseases where the oesophagus needs to be removed. The surgery is done by making an incision in the abdomen and using clamps, staples, or stitches to close it up afterwards.
Pre-operative preparation
You can talk to your surgeon and the rest of the team if you have any questions or concerns. Before having an esophagectomy if you have cancer, your doctor may advise chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or maybe both, followed by a healing time. When making these choices, your tumour's stage will be considered, and staging must be finished before discussing preoperative treatment.
Your doctor will ask you to stop smoking and might even suggest a programme to help you because smoking dramatically raises your chance of problems following surgery.
Process
The oesophagus, a part of the top of the stomach, and any adjacent lymph nodes that contain malignancy are removed during an esophagectomy. Depending on cancer's stage and location, different portions of the oesophagus and stomach may need to be removed. Instead of the stomach, a part of the intestine may occasionally be drawn up and joined to the oesophagus.
The surgery can be performed with or without the removal of the stomach. If it is performed without removing the stomach, a patient still has to eat through a feeding tube.
The surgery can be performed with or without the removal of the oesophagus. If it is performed without removing the oesophagus, a patient still has to eat through a feeding tube. The operation takes between two and three hours to complete.
If there are any complications, they will usually be taken care of during this period. It may take several weeks before patients can go home again after their oesophagus surgery.
A thoracic surgeon or general surgeon usually performs oesophageal resection surgery. The procedure may be done alone or with general anaesthesia (you are asleep).
Post-operative procedures
After your surgery, you will likely stay in the hospital for several days while you recover from surgery and any complications that may arise.
It is essential to take care of yourself after your surgery. You will need to avoid certain foods and beverages for a while and may have trouble swallowing due to swelling and pain.
