With the incidence of esophageal carcinoma continuing to increase, esophagectomy and gastric pull-through surgeries for these patients are also on the rise. It is important for radiologists to be able to recognize the different surgical techniques and their radiographic presentations as well as potential complications. This education exhibit will discuss the different surgical techniques (i.e. Ivor lewis, modified Ivor Lewis, modified McKeown approach, vagal-sparing esophagectomy, transthoracic esophagectomy, transhiatal esophagectomy, bloc esophagectomy, endoesophageal pull through, gastric pull-up and bowel interposition), their radiographic presentation and associated complications.

I. Introduction II. Review of normal anatomy of GI tract with special emphasis on esophagus and stomach. III. Review of esophagectomy and gastric pull-through procedures including different surgical techniques IV. Review post-op radiographic features and associated complications V. Summary of teaching points
