Mediastinoscopy-assisted Transhiatal Esophagectomy (MATHE) in End-stage Achalasia and Gastric Bypass: Technique and Early Results

Conclusions: MATHE can be safely performed in patients with a history of gastric bypass and ESA without requiring thoracoscopic mobilization of the esophagus. Further studies are required to validate reproducibility of our technique as an alternative to using a thoracic incision.
