Controversies regarding its management are prevalent, creating con- sion and uncertainties. Preoperative mortality and morbidity, limited overall and disease-free survival, and dismal prognosis make decision making regarding the choice of management dif? cult.

Prof. Puntambekar's outstanding experience and expertise in this ? eld is fully illustrated in this book in a step-by-step description of the operative procedures. This book should be regarded as a landmark for the surgical management of esophageal carcinoma. The book is distinctive and the technical steps are original, re? ecting a deep knowledge of the regional anatomy and a unique ability of visual and operative orientation. |
