Assistant-Based Standardization of Prone Position Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy [PDF]
Thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position (TEPP) might enable solo-surgery in cases requiring resection of the esophagus and the surrounding lymph nodes due to the associated advantages of good exposure of the surgical field and ergonomic ...

Assessment of graft perfusion and oxygenation for improved outcome in esophageal cancer surgery : protocol for a single-center prospective observational study [PDF]
Introduction: The main cause of anastomotic leakage (AL) is tissue hypoxia, which results from impaired perfusion of the pedicle stomach graft after esophageal reconstruction. Clinical judgment is unreliable in determining graft perfusion.
