Esophagoplasty According to Roux

Roux-en-Y esophagotomy is a surgical procedure that is used to treat injuries to the esophagus. This is one of the most common treatments for esophageal ulcers and other esophageal injuries such as esophageal scars or tumors.

A Roux-en-Y esophagotomy is performed by cutting the esophagus at the area of ​​the ulcer or scar, and then joining the edges of the wound with a special surgical material. This method allows you to quickly and effectively eliminate damage to the esophagus and restore its normal function.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 3-4 hours. After the operation, the patient remains in the hospital for 2 to 5 days to monitor his condition. During this time, the patient may need to receive nutrients through a tube to avoid starvation.

Overall, Roux-en-Y esophagotomy is an effective and safe treatment for esophageal injuries. It allows you to quickly restore normal function of the esophagus and avoid complications associated with peptic ulcer disease. However, like any surgery, it has its risks and can cause complications such as bleeding, infection or damage to nearby organs. Therefore, before performing this operation, it is necessary to carefully assess the patient’s condition and choose the optimal treatment method.
