For trained thoracic surgeons, the main drawbacks of this approach are the inability to perform an extensive lymph node dissection and the risk of injury to the great vessels and main airways with tumors of grade T3 or greater.3,4 We describe herein our current technique for transhiatal esophagectomy, which includes minor modifications to the original Orringer technique.
