Technical details of the hand-sewn and circular-stapled anastomosis in robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy.

Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
The circular mechanical and hand-sewn intrathoracic anastomosis are most often used in robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE). The aim of this study was to describe the technical details of both techniques that were pioneered in two ...

Robot-assisted minimally invasive thoracolaparoscopic esophagectomy versus open esophagectomy: long-term follow-up of a randomized clinical trial.

Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
Initial results of the ROBOT, which randomized between robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) and open transthoracic esophagectomy (OTE), showed significantly better short-term postoperative outcomes in favor of RAMIE. However, it is...

Robot-assisted cervical esophagectomy: first clinical experiences and review of the literature.

Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
Pulmonary complications, and especially pneumonia, remain one of the most common complications after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. These complications are reduced by minimally invasive techniques or by avoiding thoracic access through a transh...

A structured training pathway to implement robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy: the learning curve results from a high-volume center.

Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
To ensure safe implementation of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE), the learning process should be optimized. This study aimed to report the results of a surgeon who implemented RAMIE in a German high-volume center by following ...

Robotic transhiatal esophagectomy.

Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
Horgan et al. described the first robotic-assisted transhiatal esophagectomy in 2003. Although there is debate regarding the oncologic appropriateness of transhiatal versus thoracic approach to esophagectomy in malignancy, comparative data are still ...

Common gene signatures and key pathways in hypopharyngeal and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: Evidence from bioinformatic analysis.

Medicine
BACKGROUND: Hypopharyngeal and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are the most common double primary tumors with poor prognosis. Intensive work has been made to illuminate the etiology, but the common carcinogenic mechanism remains unclear. Th...

Comparative outcomes of robot-assisted minimally invasive versus open esophagectomy in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a propensity score-weighted analysis.

Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
Robots are increasingly used in minimally invasive surgery. We evaluated the clinical benefits of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) in comparison with the conventional open esophageal surgery. From 2012 to 2016, 371 patients wit...

[Deep Learning in Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders: Status and Future Perspectives].

The Korean journal of gastroenterology = Taehan Sohwagi Hakhoe chi
Artificial intelligence using deep learning has been applied to gastrointestinal disorders for the detection, classification, and delineation of various lesion images. With the accumulation of enormous medical records, the evolution of computation po...

Extensive Lymph Node Dissection Around the Left Laryngeal Nerve Achieved With Robot-assisted Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy.

Anticancer research
BACKGROUND/AIM: The potential advantages of robot-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (RATE) have yet to be verified. This study focused on the degree of lymph node dissection around the left recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN).
