The triple incision for esophageal cancer surgery is mainly used for resection of upper middle esophageal cancer, which mainly involves opening the thoracic cavity first to remove the tumor and clear the mediastinal lymph nodes, then changing the position to open the abdominal cavity to free the stomach and clear the abdominal lymph nodes, and then making a neck incision for esophagogastric-cervical anastomosis, or clearing the lymph nodes in the neck at the same time, the biggest advantage is that the tumor in the thoracic cavity can be explored first, thus avoiding unnecessary abdominal surgery. The biggest advantage is that the tumor in the chest can be explored first, thus avoiding unnecessary abdominal surgery. If the tumor or lymph nodes cannot be completely removed, it can also reduce the complications of postoperative radiotherapy, but the main disadvantage of this surgical approach is that the surgery is very traumatic and takes a relatively long time.
