Annals of Surgery, 2015
INTRODUCTION Perioperative complications influence long- and short-term outcomes after esophagectomy. The absence of a standardized system for defining and recording complications and quality measures after esophageal resection has meant that there is ...

Thoracoscopic esophagectomy: Are there benefits?

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1997
Between 1991 and 1995, 18 patients affected by a resectable intramural tumor of the esophagus underwent esophagectomy with thoracoscopic dissection of the esophagus. All patients had a relative contraindication to transthoracic esophagectomy with radical lymphadenectomy.

TRANSHIATAL ESOPHAGECTOMY

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995
Transhiatal esophagectomy (THE) with cervical esophogastric anastomosis avoids thoracotomy and the potential for sepsis from an intrathoracic anastomotic leak. Knowledge of anatomy, careful attention to details of the operation, and good judgment toward patient selection will allow THE to be a valuable tool in the surgical palliation of esophageal ...

Complications of Esophagectomy

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2012
Esophagectomy remains the gold standard curative therapy for the treatment of esophageal cancer. Despite 125 years of evolution, esophagectomy remains a demanding procedure associated with a 5% to 10% mortality and a 50% morbidity rate. Knowledge of the multitude of techniques possible for performing this complex procedure, as well as the host of ...

Transhiatal Esophagectomy

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2005
Controversy still remains regarding the appropriateness of THE asa cancer operation. Critics argue that without an en bloc mediastinal lymphadenectomy, THE does not provide accurate staging or the potential for a curative procedure; however, operative margins are similar after transthoracic and transhiatal esophagectomy, and van Sandick and co-workers ...

Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2005
Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has become an established approach for the treatment of esophageal carcinoma. In comparison with open esophagectomy MIE reduces blood loss, respiratory complications, and length of hospital stay. At the University of Pittsburgh, the authors now predominantly perform a laparoscopic-thoracoscopic Ivor Lewis ...
