After the Procedure Most people stay in the hospital for 7 to 14 days after this surgery. You may spend 1 to 3 days in the intensive care unit (ICU) right after surgery.
Curatively intended treatment usually includes surgical resection (esophagectomy) with or without pre- or perioperative chemo(radio)therapy and is followed by a 5-year survival of 3045%, with tumor stage as the strongest prognostic factor.
Results. Most people report improved quality of life after esophagectomy, but some symptoms usually continue. Your doctor will likely recommend comprehensive follow-up care to prevent complications after surgery and to help you adjust your lifestyle.
Pulmonary complications are the most common postoperative complications, occurring in 16 to 67 percent of patients [7,14-16], but anastomotic leak is the most dreaded, occurring in 0 to 40 percent of patients [7,17,18]. (See Anastomotic leak below and Pulmonary below.)

1 Esophagectomy is an extensive procedure that carries a high risk (4060%) of serious and sometimes lethal complications. 1 The long-term (5-year) survival after surgery is limitedonly 31% ing to nationwide population-based studies from Sweden.
Esophagectomy carries a risk of complications, which may include: Bleeding. Infection. Cough. Leakage from the surgical connection of the esophagus and stomach. Changes in your voice. Acid or bile reflux. Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Respiratory complications, such as pneumonia.
When the esophagus is removed, the stomach is pulled up into the chest and reattached to keep the food passageway intact. This stretching of the stomach takes away the ability to eat large meals, as there is no longer a large holding area for food to be digested.
