  • The history of surgery for carcinoma of the esophagus.

    Pompili MF, Mark JB. Chest Surg Clin N Am. 2000; 10 (1): 145-51, x

    Carcinoma of the esophagus is a highly lethal disease in which surgical resection is part of every treatment regimen carried out with curative intent. The development of surgical resection of the esophagus for carcinoma has been a long and tortuous one. Its evolution depended not only on a thorough knowledge of surgical anatomy and technique, but also on important developments in endoscopy, radiology, anesthesia, nutrition, pulmonary physiology, and intensive care.
