Abstract
The incidence of oesophageal malignancy is increasing in the UK. Surgical management with oesophagectomy is determined by tumour location, stage and extent of lymphadenectomy,and is also dependent on patient age and co-morbidity. Surgery is associated with considerable postoperative morbidity and mortalities of up to 7%. The indications for imaging and findings in both the immediate and delayed postoperative periods are discussed.
