The esophagus is mobilized extensively up to and even under the aortic arch (1). The hiatus is stretched, and the fundus of the stomach mobilized and delivered into the chest. This maneuver may require division of branches of the left gastric vessels along the lesser curvature and the vasa brevia along the greater curvature.
Esophageal Spasm: Long Esophagomyotomy and Belsey Repair 453
Once the esophagus has been mobilized sufficiently, a long esophagomyotomy is performed. A right angle clamp is used to lift and separate the mus­cle layer from the mucosa, dividing it with electrocautery on low voltage. This plane is easily developed. The muscular layer should be dissected free from the mucosal tube for approx­imately 50% of the circumference of the esophagus (2).

Since the esophagomyotomy extends down onto the stomach for at least 1 cm, the lower esophageal sphincter is destroyed. The hiatus and lower esophageal sphincter are reconstructed with a modified Belsey procedure. Interrupted sutures of No. 2 silk are placed through both crura of the diaphragm, but not tied. A modified Belsey Mark IV proce­dure is performed that uses two, instead of three sutures in each of the two rows. The first row is initiated with a 2-0 silk suture placed in the fundus of the stomach 2 cm below the gastroesophageal junction, and then longitudinally through the
esophagus 2 cm above the gastroesophageal junction. The mattress stitch is completed by passing
the suture back down through the esophagus and through the fundus of the stomach (3).

A similar mattress suture is placed on the other side of the
esophagomyotomy and then secured (4). A second layer of two
sutures is then placed. The 2-0 suture is first passed through the
diaphragm (from the thoracic to the abdominal side) and then through the
fundus of the stomach 2 cm below the first row of sutures. The stitch then passes longi­tudinally through the esophagus 2 cm above the first row. The mattress stitch is completed by passing the suture back down through the esophagus, the fundus of the stomach, and the diaphragm (from the abdominal to the thoracic side). A sim­ilar suture is placed on the other side of the esophagomyotomy. Placement of the suture through the diaphragm is aided
by retraction of the abdominal contents with a large spoon (5). The two previously placed sutures of the second row are then secured by reducing the fundus of the stomach into the abdomen and tying the sutures.

Alternatively, the esophageal and gastric portions of the second row of sutures can be secured, and then the ends passed through the diaphragm with large Ferguson needles (6). The stomach is reduced and the sutures are tied. Either technique is acceptable, but we prefer tying the sutures of the second row placed in the stomach and esophagus before passing the ends through the diaphragm.

Once the second row of sutures has been secured, the crural stitches are tied. Only enough space should be left to admit a fingertip between the esophagus and crural stitches. Alternatively, a 46 French Maloney dilator can be passed adjacent to the nasogastric tube, and then the crural sutures secured. The opera­tive procedure divides all of the circular muscles of the esophageal wall for the entire length of the esophagus affected by spasm, thus eliminating the spasm. In the process, the lower esophageal sphincter is destroyed and has to be reconstructed via a Belsey repair (7, 8). A chest tube is inserted and the thoracotomy incision closed.

Open Resection of Esophageal Leiomyoma
Operative Indications
Leiomyomas arise from the muscular layer of the esophageal wall (1). The mucosa is not involved and remains intact over the benign tumor, resulting in the characteristic smooth appearance on barium swallow. The defect seen radiographically is smooth and usually protrudes in a semicircular fashion into the esophageal lumen. These lesions are easily differentiat­ed from the more common malignant mucosal lesions. If these leimyomas are large, they may be seen on a plain chest x-ray or a computed tomography (CT) scan. If the tumors are large enough to result in dysphagia, the characteristic appearance on barium swallow makes the diagnosis
Muscular layer of esophageal wall
almost a certainty. If endoscopy is carried out, one can see an intact mucosa over the lesion protruding into the esophageal lumen. One should not perform a biopsy of the mucosa overlying the lesion, because an opening into the esophageal lumen at the time of surgical resection will result. If the radiographic appearance is pathognomonic and symptoms are minimal or absent, some surgeons have advocated following the patient and not removing the tumor surgically unless symptoms increase. Most, howev­er, think these lesions should be excised when they are found to prevent or alleviate symptoms and to do so while they are smaller and more manageable. Esophageal resection is rarely indicated.

Operative Technique
Flexible esophagoscopy should be performed after induction of anesthesia to localize the tumor and again, after resection, to check for mucosal leaks. The patient is positioned in the lateral thoracotomy position. Most esophageal leiomyomas can be approached via the right chest, but those approaching the esophagogastric junction should be resected from the left side; the illustra­tions depict the latter. The thoracic cavity is entered through the sixth inter­costal space.
The mediastinal pleura is opened, and the esophagus iden­tified and dissected free. The lesion is easily palpat­ed in the esophageal wall. It has a firm, rubbery consistency and is easily differentiated from a malignant neoplasm. Occasionally, the flexible esophagoscope can be used to help localize it. Once the esophagus has been mobi­lized and encircled with a Penrose drain, the outer lon­gitudinal muscle layer is opened with the scalpel (2).
The incision in the esophageal wall is deepened until the whitish, rubbery, benign smooth muscle neo­plasm is identified. It can be gently

By using both blunt and sharp dissection, the leiomyoma is generally easily removed from the esophageal wall (3) with­out entering the esophageal lumen. If the esophagoscope is still in place, the integrity of the esophageal wall is checked by insufflating air into the lumen. Once the tumor has been removed, the esophageal muscular layer is closed with a series of interrupted 3-0 silks. A chest tube is inserted and the thoracotomy incision closed.
Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgical Resection of Esophageal Leiomyoma
Operative Indications
The indications for removal of a leiomyoma using the video-assisted thoracic surgical (VATS) technique are similar to those described previously for the open technique. General principles of VATS should also be considered, however, in that con­traindications for this method include the inability to tolerate one-lung ventilation and prior major thoracic surgery in that pleural space.
Operative Technique
After induction of general anesthesia, a double lumen endotracheal tube is inserted and verified in the correct position by bronchoscopy and auscultation. Most tumors can be approached via the right pleural space, except for distal tumors that should be removed via the left; illustrated is the approach from the right. After flexible esophagoscopy, the scope is left in position. The patient is placed in the left lateral decubitus position. At least three 1-cm ports are created in the fourth, fifth and sixth intercostal spaces (1). If traction on the esophagus is required, an additional 5-mm port is placed in the third intercostal space, and a Penrose drain placed circumferentially around the esophagus and brought out via this port. The thoracoscope is inserted via the middle port.
