neoplasm (benign tumors are rare) (esophageal symptoms/signs: asymptomatic early, dysphagia, weight loss, pain
pathology) diagnostics: barium contrast studies, CT scan
treatments: may be limited to palliation, radiotherapy, tracheostomy,
extirpation of the esophagus, reconstruction


tracheostomy creation of an opening into the trachea through the neck, with insertion of an
indwelling tube to facilitate passage of air or evacuation of secretions


trauma (esophageal pathology) symptoms/signs: perforation (usually the result of instrumentation), ingestion of
caustic substances
diagnostics: varies with type
treatments: immediate surgical intervention


laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication a surgical procedure that is performed to correct a hiatal hernia


Abdominal esophagus ____________________________ extends from the esophageal hiatus to the opening of the
cardia of the stomach.


esophageal groove Abdominal esophagus lies in the _________________________ on the posterior surface of
the left lobe of the liver.

lower esophageal sphincter (LES) At the point where it joins the stomach is a layer of circular muscle fibers called
the ______________________________, which contracts to close the opening to the stomach
and prevent food and gastric juices from reentering the esophagus.


Hiatal hernia ________________________ occurs when the esophageal hiatus is weak, which allows the
abdominal esophagus and superior portion of the stomach to protrude into
the thoracic cavity.


Maloney dilators a needed supplie unique to laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication:




vagotomy the surgical cutting of the vagus nerve to reduce acid secretion in the stomach
