All of the patients with resectable esophageal cancer admitted to thoracic surgical ward for esophagectomy for 12 month are included in this study. The patients are randomly divided in two groups. 30 patients of controlled group (group 1) are not performed pyloromyotomy during transhiatal esophagectomy. 30 patients of interventional group (group 2) are performed pyloromyotomy during transhiatal esophagectomy. In this study other variables such as age, gender, location of tumor, histopathology, complications and perioperative discomforts are also will be studied. All patients of two groups will be studied with radioisotope scanning for determination of gastric emptying and will be compared.
