The surgical approach will be either transhiatal or transthoracic esophagectomy. The gastric conduit will be prepared based on the right gastric and right gastroepiploic vessels and pyloromyotomy and pyloroplasty will not performed except in patients with corrosive strictures. Finger dilatation of pylorus will be done when required. The conduit will be prepared using 75-mm linear cutter. The stomach will be brought up into the neck through either the retrosternal or posterior mediastinal route. The CEGA will be done by a side-to-side stapled or end-to-side hand-sewn method. Chest tubes (32F) will be inserted bilaterally to take care of any breach in the pleura. Feeding jejunostomy (Witzel's type) with 12F Malecot's catheter will be done in all patients. The neck wound will be closed loosely with interrupted 3-0 vicryl sutures over a 14F suction drain and the skin will be approximated with skin staplers.
