Printed on acid-free paper Springer Science+Business Media LLC New York is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) This book is dedicated to my husband, Matt Blackmon, my partners in practice, and my esophageal support group; for the years of dedication, support, and love. Without such teams, caring for these patients would be impossible. Pref ace T his atlas began when I was in my fi rst year of clinical practice. As I began to develop my skills in endoluminal technology, I realized there was no single resource to guide me. There were several moments through these years when it became clear that one specialty may not always understand important facts from another specialty regarding the disease they both treat. I distinctly remember speaking to a patient after an esophagectomy for cancer and having the patient tell me his gastroenterolo- gist told him I may have resected the vagal nerve, thus giving him a dumping s yndrome. I responded by stating “I certainly hope I resected it, because that is part of the surgery!” I started a multidisciplinary tumor board to enhance learning and communication between the specialties, focusing on the diseases rather than keep- ing it specialty-specifi c. I made every attempt to learn all aspects of caring for patients with esophageal disease. T his book is meant to be a single reference for anyone caring for patients with esophageal disease. When separate specialties learn to think like the other, patients benefi t. Surgery today is becoming less invasive and more endoluminal. Most p rocedures I perform today were not performed when I was a resident 10 years ago. Learning new technology is diffi cult especially when the new skill requires a specialist to move toward another specialty or “cross a line.” A common language, understanding, philosophy, and terminology can enhance communication, thus improving patient care.
