RESUMO
Esophageal cancer requires a multimodality treatment approach, with surgical resection a key component in many cases. When it comes to esophagectomy, several approaches and techniques exist, including transhiatal versus transthoracic and open versus minimally invasive. Each approach has its associated risks and advantages. When determining the optimal approach and technique, several variables need to be considered. The key variables include patient and tumor characteristics, as well as surgeon comfort and experience with each approach. Regardless of the approach, the goal should remain the same, that is, performing a safe operation without compromise of oncologic principles.

Plantar fasciitis (PF) is present in 10% of the population and is the most common cause of plantar heel pain. PF is painful, can alter daily activities and presents as a sharp pain localized to the plantar foot and medial heel. The underlying etiology involves microtrauma to the plantar fascia, specifically at its insertion point on the calcaneus. Successful management of plantar fasciitis is typically achieved with the conservative therapy approaches discussed.
