Feasibility of hybrid Ivor-Lewis oesophagectomy after sleeve gastrectomy

Abstract

Oesophageal resection is a challenging procedure, and it is more so in patients who have undergone bariatric procedures, especially after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. We present the case of a patient with a history of an laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy who underwent a hybrid Ivor-Lewis oesophagectomy in which the sleeve was successfully used to reconstruct the upper gastrointestinal tract.
