Tóm tắt

Transhiatal esophagectomy is a surgical procedure performed for benign and malignant esophageal lesions. The postoperative complications include anastomotic leak, infection, atelectasis, hemorrhage, recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis, chylothorax, tracheal laceration, and herniation of abdominal viscera through the hiatus, which is one of the rarest complications. We show a patient with a transhiatal herniation of a large abdominal content into the thorax as a chronic complication of this procedure.
