Benign Esophageal Tumors

These are non cancerous tumors on the wall of the esophagus and not life-threatening. These often go undetected until they grow large enough to make swallowing difficult. We do surgical excision of these tumors by key hole surgery.

At Max we have a dedicated team of experts including a thoracic surgeon, gastroenterologist, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, pathologist, physical therapist, dietitian who together provide comprehensive personalized care to the patient.

Esophageal diverticula are small pouches that form in the esophagus. Most patients are unaware of these pouches until they fill with food and become inflamed or infected, also known as diverticulitis. Symptoms are difficulty swallowing, heartburn, regurgitation of food, hoarseness, repeated pneumonia, repeated episodes of inhaling food into airway or lungs, bad breath. We offer key-hole surgery to these patients .with excellent outcomes.
