Abstract

Transthoracic subtotal esophagectomy with two-field lymph node (mediastinal and abdominal) and monobloc posterior mediastinectomy is called Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. This intervention requires an abdominal and thoracic time that is carried out here entirely by robotic way. It is performed a reconstruction by gastroplasty with a manual esophago-gastric anastomosis also by robotic way.
