Özet

Background: Pulmonary complications after transhiatal esophagectomy occur commonly and frequently cause severe morbidity and possible mortality. Aspiration, both overt and silent, can also be present with some regularity after this procedure, and it appears intuitive that identification of aspiration with the appropriate measures of avoidance of oral intake and avoidance of oral contrast studies may help reduce the consequences of aspiration pneumonia.
