How To Treat Abdominal Masses Causing Severe Cough?
My 39year old son has a growth in his opening of his stomach up into his esophagus which he had biopsys done in and they said it is not cancet. What type of surgery is required ? Will he have to have a feeding tube? The growth is very large and is also causing him to cough a lot and has trouble swallowing. I am terrified and what type of doctor is needed to do the surgery?

Hello,
You should be happy because it is not cancer. I think a general surgeon can do this.
He might need a feeding tube after the surgery for sometimes. After removing the mass the cough and difficulties in swallowing would have gone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
