Minimally invasive esophagectomy
The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2021Minimally invasive esophagectomy is increasingly becoming the surgical treatment of choice for esophageal cancer. The goal of this technique is to reduce the rate of respiratory complications associated with thoracotomy while taking advantage of the benefits of reduced mortality associated with minimally invasive techniques. However, minimally invasive

"Open" esophagectomy has been the standard of care for treatment of esophageal carcinoma against which evolving minimally invasive surgical, endoscopic, and non-operative therapies must be compared. In experienced hands and with appropriate patient selection, "open" esophagectomy can achieve good rates of cure with low mortality, acceptable morbidity ...

Esophagectomy for cancer in octogenarians
Diseases of the Esophagus, 2010Because of changes in life expectancy, there is an increasing number of elderly patients with esophageal cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of esophagectomy for cancer in patients 80 years or older. A retrospective review was performed of the records of all patients who underwent esophagectomy for cancer from 1992 to 2007.
