BACKGROUND: To assess the feasibility, clinical utility, and safety of intrathoracic robotic-sewn esophageal anastomosis (IrEA) during Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma of the lower third of the esophagus, or cancer at the gastro-esophageal...
BACKGROUND: In the West, patients with cervical lymph node metastasis of resectable esophageal cancer at diagnosis are generally precluded from curative treatment. This study prospectively explored the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant chemoradio...
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 e...
Salvage surgery for esophageal cancer after definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is effective, but it is associated with a high rate of perioperative complications. The indications for robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) are expand...
