The esophagus is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.
It sometimes has to be removed, usually due to cancer. This procedure
is rarely done, and few hospitals do even one such operation in a year.
Caution should be used in comparing hospital performance based on these
rates. Instructions
for interpreting this table.
