Frequently Asked Questions
It is a minimally invasive procedure where the surgeon uses the Da Vinci robotic system to remove the esophagus. This allows for greater precision, smaller incisions, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Recovery typically involves a hospital stay of 5-7 days. With minimally invasive techniques, patients experience less pain and can return to normal activities sooner. A specialized diet is required initially as you heal.
Many patients with esophageal cancer benefit from a combination of treatments. Chemotherapy and/or radiation are often given before surgery (neoadjuvant) to shrink the tumor or after surgery (adjuvant) to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.
