Breakdown of the Distal Esophagus with Surgical Repair
The anterior view of the abdominal anatomy showing the breakdown of the distal esophagus with surgical repair. The preoperative condition shows necrotic parts of the distal esophagus and stomach that have detached from each other. In the surgical repair, the diseased portions of the esophagus and stomach are removed. The stomach is then advanced up through the diaphragm and attached to the healthy esophagus.
