A three stage esophagectomy (Mckeown procedure) was performed in a 47 year old male patient with esophageal cancer. The procedure consists in an abdominal stage, where stomach is dissected for the substitution of the esophagus in the thorax, only leaving one artery for blood supply, a thoracic stage where dissection of esophagus and lymphadenectomy is performed an a cervical stage, where cervical esophagus is dissected and prepared for the anastomosis with the ascended stomach. The procedure was performed by the Surgical Oncologist, Adrian Cravioto M.D.
