Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 couple more questions for you guys. What makes you a good candidate for a laperscopically esophagectomy? Or if I went with the Transthoracic esophagectomy, Thats just one incision in the chest right? The reason why I ask is because I've had both my myotomys that way (through my left chest). I'm missing a rib so I figured if I already have a hole there would they just use the same entry point? I like the idea of doing the lap kind because there would be less down time but would I be a bad candidate because of old scare tissue? Just curious. Im interviewing my first surgeon tomorrow but wanted to know your thoughts as well. Thanks. Stefani So Cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
