Esophagectomy for benign disease.
Journal of Thoracic Disease 2018 March
Esophagectomy for benign disease is uncommonly used but it is an important option to consider in those patients who have lost function of this organ. Esophageal resection is, in fact considered as a last resort for benign disease, after multiple failed conservative treatments, when the primary disease is not amenable to other treatments and the esophagus has become non-functional leading to very poor quality of life. The indications for esophagectomy for benign diseases can be divided into three major categories: obstruction, perforation and dysmotility. The process leading to organ failure and the need for resection for each specific disease will be discussed in an attempt to provide guidance as to when an esophagectomy is appropriate.
