AB  - The  term  “esophagus”  derives  from  the  Greek  root  “oisein”  (to  carry)  and  “phagos”  (to  eat).  The  esophagus'  intricate  components  perform  in  symphony  to  provide  a  muscular  conduit  between  the  pharynx  and  stomach.  Even  small  deviations  in  structure  can  lead  to  dysfunction.  Benign  esophageal  lesions  can  obstruct  the  esophageal  lumen  and  produce  symptoms.  This  chapter  discusses  esophageal  development  and  anatomy  as  well  as  the  pathophysiology  of  benign  esophageal  diseases.  Chapter  29  details  the  surgical  and  endoscopic  approaches  to  these  diseases.  Motility  disorders  and  congenital  esophageal  diseases  are  discussed  in  more  detail  in  Chapters  33  and  51,  respectively.
