Technique of robotic esophagectomy [PDF]
Robotic surgery continues to grow in thoracic surgery, and currently plays an evolving role in esophagectomy. Robotic assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has continued to expand, with many institutions adapting the technique. As the overall experience continues to grow, new data is emerging in its support.

Esophagectomy followed by gastric conduit reconstruction is a standard surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. However, there is no evidence of the superiority or inferiority of the posterior mediastinal (PM) versus the retrosternal (RS) reconstruction

Robotic esophagectomy is an increasingly used modality. Patients who are candidates for traditional, open esophagectomy are typically also candidates for robotic esophagectomy. Knowledge of and training on the robotic platform is critical for success. Patient and port positioning is described. Either a hand-sewn or stapled intrathoracic anastomosis may

Prehabilitation for esophagectomy
Esophagectomy remains the mainstay treatment of esophageal cancer (EC). Combined with neoadjuvant therapies, the management of EC has deleterious effects on body composition, functional capacity and psychological well-being. Preoperative patient optimisation known as prehabilitation is a novel intervention aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality ...

BackgroundEsophagectomy for esophageal cancer carries high morbidity and mortality, particularly in older patients. Transthoracic esophagectomy allows formal lymphadenectomy, but leads to greater perioperative morbidity and pain than transhiatal ...

Minimally invasive esophagectomy [PDF]
Open esophagectomy can be associated with significant morbidity and delay return to routine activities. Minimally invasive surgery may lower the morbidity of esophagectomy but only a few small series have been published.From August 1996 to September 1999, 77 patients underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy.
