Reflux Following Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer

Gastroesophageal reflux is a common problem after gastroesophageal resection and re-construction, despite the routine prescription of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Resection of the lower esophageal sphincter and excision of the vagus nerve are generally thought to be the main factors that interfere...
