ABSTRACT
In 1945, the Welsh surgeon Ivor Lewis first reported performing the resection of a midesophageal tumor through a combined approach involving the abdomen and right chest. Although his technique was initially rebuffed by the preeminent esophageal surgeons of the time, it quickly became the standard approach for cancers of the midesophagus. Here we review the development and early dissemination of Lewis' operation using the case of the American actor Humphrey Bogart, who underwent an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for esophageal cancer in 1956.
