Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2012
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 ...

Minimally invasive esophagectomy

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2000
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.

Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy

Advances in Surgery, 2016
The application of minimally invasive esophagectomy in the treatment of esophageal carcinoma has drawn much attention. At present, results of quite a number of clinical researches show that minimally invasive esophagectomy is helpful to reduce trauma and complications of esophageal surgery, especially cardiopulmonary complications with shorter length ...

Experience with minimally invasive esophagectomy

Surgical Endoscopy, 2005
Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is an evolving surgical alternative to traditional open esophagectomy. Despite considerable technical challenges, it was hypothesized that MIE could be performed effectively by surgeons experienced in open esophageal resection and advanced laparoscopic surgery.

Minimally Invasive and Robotic Esophagectomy

Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, 2018
Great advances have been made in the surgical management of esophageal disease since the first description of esophageal resection in 1913. We are in the era of minimally invasive esophagectomy. The current three main approaches to an esophagectomy are the Ivor Lewis technique, McKeown technique, and the transhiatal approach to esophagectomy.

[Minimally invasive esophagectomy].

Cirugia espanola, 2006
Currently, the bases for the treatment of esophageal cancer are surgical resection and chemotherapy. Among the various surgical techniques used, minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) aims to reduce surgical aggression and cardiopulmonary complications while maintaining basic oncological principles. We present the results of our initial experience with

Minimally invasive esophagectomy

European Surgery, 2007
BACKGROUND: Esophagectomy can be a formidable operation even in experienced hands. METHODS: Critical appraisal towards minimal invasive esophagectomy. RESULTS: The complications are often lethal. Patients developing postoperative pneumonia after open esophagectomy have up to a 20% mortality rate.

Minimally invasive esophagectomy: an overview

Expert Review of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2010
Minimally invasive approaches to esophageal resection have been shown to be feasible and safe, with outcomes similar to open esophagectomy. There are no controlled trials comparing the outcomes of minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) with open techniques, just a few comparative studies and many single institution series from which assessment of MIE ...
