Other

Labs and studies

Operating room setup

  • Arterial line +/- flowtrack (ideally on left arm)
  • Fluid warmer
  • Double-lumen tube (left) / bronchial blocker with SLT

Patient preparation and premedication

Regional and neuraxial techniques

  • Thoracic epidural

Intraoperative management

Monitoring and access

  • Invasive hemodynamic monitoring
  • Large bore IV access

Induction and airway management

  • May consider RSI if high-aspiration risk due to esophageal tumor obstructing food passage
  • Left sided double lumen tube or single lumen ETT with bronchial blocker

Positioning

  • Start in supine position if EGD is used
  • Patient will be later positioned to left lateral decubitus

Maintenance and surgical considerations

Abdominal Dissection

  • Pt is placed supine and peritoneal cavity is examined for metastatic disease
  • Lower portion of the stomach is mobilized
  • Gastric conduit formed
  • A cervical anastomosis is performed and esophagus and stomach returned to mediastinum


Emergence

Postoperative management

Disposition

  • Post-op ICU

Pain management

  • Epidural

Potential complications

  1. Anastomotic leak
  2. Vocal cord paresis
  3. Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury
  4. Morbidity requiring re-operation
  5. Mortality

Procedure variants

Open Laparoscopic Robotic
