Anatomic variations in the surgical anatomy of the thoracic esophagus and its surrounding structures [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Esophagectomy is a challenging procedure due to: a) it is a complex operation; b) it is linked to very high morbidity and mortality rates; c) surgical anatomy of the esophagus is very peculiar. The anatomic variations that can be unexpectedly

Optimal Hospital Volume to Minimize Postoperative Mortality After Esophagectomy for Cancer in Low Population Density Countries: A Binational Study of Australia and New Zealand

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
A relationship between hospital volume and postoperative mortality following esophagectomy for cancer has been reported in Europe and USA, leading to centralization of surgery for esophageal cancer in some countries. ABSTRACT Background A relationship between hospital volume and postoperative mortality following esophagectomy for cancer has been ...

Jejunal interposition reconstruction with a stomach preserving esophagectomy improves postoperative weight loss and reflux symptoms for esophageal cancer patients [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Conventional reconstruction after an esophagectomy uses a gastric tube, which commonly causes several postoperative complaints such as gastric acid reflux in long-term survival cases. Intestinal interposition between the remnant esophagus and

Benchmarking and Enhancing Surgical Phase Recognition Models for Robotic-Assisted Esophagectomy [PDF]

arXiv
Robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) is a recognized treatment for esophageal cancer, offering better patient outcomes compared to open surgery and traditional minimally invasive surgery. RAMIE is highly complex, spanning multiple anatomical areas and involving repetitive phases and non-sequential phase transitions.

Loss of skeletal muscle mass during neoadjuvant treatments correlates with worse prognosis in esophageal cancer : a retrospective cohort study [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Nutritional deficits, cachexia, and sarcopenia are extremely common in esophageal cancer. The aim of this article was to assess the effect of loss of skeletal muscle mass during neoadjuvant treatment on the prognosis of esophageal cancer ...

Efficacy comparison of transcervical video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy combined with left transthoracic esophagectomy versus right transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer treatment

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2018
Background This study aimed to propose a new surgical strategy, i.e., the transcervical video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy (VAMLA) with esophagectomy via the left transthoracic approach for patients with esophageal cancer (EC), and to ...

Benchmarking Pretrained Attention-based Models for Real-Time Recognition in Robot-Assisted Esophagectomy [PDF]

arXiv
Esophageal cancer is among the most common types of cancer worldwide. It is traditionally treated using open esophagectomy, but in recent years, robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has emerged as a promising alternative. However, robot-assisted surgery can be challenging for novice surgeons, as they often suffer from a loss of ...

Comparing open and minimally invasive surgical procedures for oesophagectomy in the treatment of cancer: the ROMIO (Randomised Oesophagectomy: Minimally Invasive or Open) feasibility study and pilot trial [PDF]

, 2015
Localised oesophageal cancer can be curatively treated with surgery (oesophagectomy) but the procedure is complex with a risk of complications, negative effects on quality of life and a recovery period of 6-9 months. Minimal-access surgery may accelerate

The impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on longitudinal trends of surgical mortality and inpatient quality of care in Ontario, Canada

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Previous studies have shown the COVID‐19 pandemic was associated with reductions in volume across a spectrum of non‐SARS‐CoV‐2 hospitalizations. In the present study, we examine the impact of the pandemic on patient safety and quality of care. Design This is a retrospective population‐based study of discharge abstracts. Methods We applied
