AB Complications  during  and  following  esophageal  surgery  can  be  extremely  morbid,  challenging,  and  frustrating  for  both  the  patient  and  the  surgeon.  The  significance  of  these  complications  is  related,  not  only  to  their  relatively  high  incidence  but  also  to  the  high  morbidity  and  mortality  associated  with  them.  Advances  in  minimally  invasive  and  endoscopic  approaches  over  the  past  few  decades  have  led  to  an  increase  in  surgical  indications  for  esophageal  diseases,  and  also  to  the  development  of  new  diagnostic  and  therapeutic  strategies  in  the  management  of  complications,  allowing  the  thoracic  surgeon  to  intervene  earlier  and  more  effectively.
