A surgical procedure to repair or reconstruct the esophagus using tissue grafts or other surgical techniques.
From Greek 'esophagos' (esophagus) plus '-plasty' (surgical reconstruction or repair), a surgical term.
Esophagoplasty techniques have advanced dramatically—surgeons can now rebuild severely damaged esophagi using tissue from your colon or stomach, or even tissue engineering techniques!
