AB Historically,  surgery  is  the  mainstay  of  treatment  for  esophageal  cancer.  Czerny  was  the  first  who  resected  a  cervical  esophageal  cancer  in  1877.  In  1913,  Torek  performed  the  first  transthoracic  esophageal  cancer  resection  successfully.1  A  rubber  tube  was  used  as  the  esophageal  substitute  connecting  the  esophagostomy  and  gastrostomy  for  feeding  in  the  patient,  who  lived  for  another  17  years.  Reconstruction  using  stomach  as  a  conduit  after  intrathoracic  esophageal  cancer  resection  was  performed  by  Ohsawa,  a  Japanese  surgeon  in  Kyoto,  in  1933.2  In  1946,  Lewis  described  a  2-phase  approach  via  right  thoracotomy  and  laparotomy.3  Tanner  reported  the  same  procedure  in  1947.4  McKeown  later  described  the  3-phase  esophagectomy  via  right  thoracotomy,  laparotomy,  and  cervical  incision.5
