AB For  surgeons  familiar  with  the  unique  and  extraordinary  challenges  presented  by  surgery  of  esophageal  malignancy,  the  words  of  Ivor  Lewis  appear  as  valid  today  as  they  were  when  first  written  over  50  years  ago:  “There  is  little  doubt  that  the  successful  outcome  of  radical  curative  surgery  for  esophageal  carcinoma  remains  one  of  the  great  challenges  of  surgical  practice.”1  A  satisfactory  result  necessitates  optimization  of  the  patient's  physical  state  and  tumor  staging,  a  high  degree  of  surgical  skill  and  experience,  and  teamwork  involving  close  coordination  of  the  surgical,  anesthetic,  physiotherapeutic,  and  nursing  modalities  of  treatment.
