Twenty patients with cancer of the esophagus and/or cardia underwent transmediastinal esophagectomy by blunt dissection without thoracotomy. Resection and reconstruction with gastroesophageal anastomosis was performed in a single stage in 13 cases. The tumor was nonresectable in seven cases, and instead a substernal bypass was performed. The technical maneuvers are described, and the results and possible advantages and disadvantages of the transhiatal method are discussed.
