MODEL RELEASED. Oesophageal cancer surgery. Image 5 of 28. Surgeons using laparoscopic tools inside the abdomen of a patient being operated on for cancer of the oesophagus (gullet). The inside of the patient's abdomen is seen on the screen at upper left. The operation was carried out in two stages. First was laparoscopic keyhole surgery inside the abdomen (seen here),to operate on the lower,abdominal part of the cancer. This was followed by open-chest surgery (thoracotomy) to remove the cancerous oesophageal tissue and connect the remaining healthy part back to the stomach (oesophago-gastric anastomosis) | |
