Research

A pair of doctors review test results. Dedicated to improvement

Mayo Clinic doctors and researchers are dedicated to improving treatment with esophagectomy.

Mayo Clinic researchers are working to improve esophagus surgery. Studies cover a wide range of areas, including:

  • Less-invasive laparoscopic techniques.
  • The complications of esophagectomy generally and specifically for people who had previous anti-reflux surgery.
  • The role of endoscopic methods in treating Barrett's esophagus with high-grade dysplasia to avoid esophagectomy.

Key research also is now focused on managing your symptoms after esophagectomy and helping you to achieve the best outcome possible as you continue with your life.
