Successful esophagectomy in a patient with combined esophageal cancer and hemophilia B.

Patients with esophageal cancer often require esophagectomy with esophagogastrostomy. However, the incidence of complications, such as hemorrhage, during operations for esophageal cancer is high, even with minimally invasive surgery. Without the appropriate interventions, the risk of major intraoperative and postoperative hemorrhage is very high in patients with esophageal cancer and hemophilia. We report the case of a 45-year-old man with esophageal cancer and hemophilia B who underwent a successful hybrid, minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy with appropriate perioperative management.
