Abstract
Esophageal surgery is a common and integral component in the management of hiatal hernias, esophageal carcinoma, and esophageal perforation. Understanding the expected postsurgical imaging features of these common esophageal surgeries and postoperative complications is essential. Image-guided intervention can be used to aid the surgeon in the management of many post esophageal surgical complications. We discuss the imaging features of the postoperative esophagus and the use of imaging, including fluoroscopy and computed tomography, in the diagnosis of post esophageal surgical complications and treatment.
