Historically, obesity contraindicated an abdominal approach to the esophagogastric junction. The technique of transhiatal esophagectomy (THE) evolved without specific regard to body habitus. The dramatic increase in obese patients requiring an esophagectomy for complications of reflux disease prompted this evaluation of the impact of obesity on the outcomes of esophagectomy to determine whether profound obesity should contraindicate the transhiatal approach.
