Meanings of upper esophagus in English

Foreign bodies in the upper esophagus should be removed as soon as possible to avoid serious complications.

The polyps arose from the hypopharynx in 3 patients and upper esophagus in 1.

We experienced four cases of the impacted PTPs in the upper esophagus which was successfully extracted endoscopically with the overtube.

The endoscopic removal with the overtube was a simple, safe and effective technique for the removal of the impacted PTPs in upper esophagus.

However, removals of foreign bodies in the upper esophagus are very difficult, especially if they have sharp edges, such as press-through-packs (PTPs).

Because two edges of PTPs were so firmly impacted in the esophageal wall in all cases, the PTPs were not movable in the upper esophagus.

Thirty-four patients had lesions in the upper esophagus, 58 patients had lesions in the middle esophagus, and 46 patients had lesions in the lower esophagus.
