    Author: Bains MS.
    Journal: Chest Surg Clin N Am; 1997 Aug; 7(3):587-98; discussion 598-9. PubMed ID: 9246404.
    Abstract:
    Esophageal resection and reconstruction are associated with significant operative and postoperative morbidity and mortality. Careful evaluation of the patient's cardiopulmonary status; proper preparation of the patient with smoking cessation, exercise, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation; assessment of the stage of disease; selection of a suitable operative technique; and meticulous attention to technical details help reduce the incidence of complications and ensure a successful outcome in this technically challenging procedure.
