An esophagastrectomy is the surgical removal of the majority or entire esophagus along with a portion of the stomach. For most procedures, the stomach is transplanted into the neck and takes the place of the esophagus. The operation takes several hours and there is a high probability of a lung collapse so a trained upper-gastrointestinal doctor is the best choice for this operation.
