I needed an Oesophagectomy due to being diagnosed with cancer of the Oesophagus. This required the removal of the whole of my Oesophagus and 1/3rd of my stomach. The remainder of my stomach is then shaped into a new Oesophagus and joined to the back of my throat, allowing food to be eaten.
The surgery is quite extensive and you will be in hospital for between 10 - 12 days. My surgery took place at St Thomas's Hospital under Mr Mason. Mr Mason has done a fantastic job in recreating my Oesophagus.
