Diaphragmatic hiatal hernia is a potential complication of oesophagectomy in cancer patients. Over the past decades, laparoscopy has become the preferred approach to repairing this condition due to the reduced morbidity, faster recovery and shorter h...
BACKGROUND: The safety and feasibility of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term outcomes of RAMIE with extended lymphadenectomy and conventional minimally invasive ...

BACKGROUND: Oesophagogastric anastomosis is mainly complicated by its tediousness. We hope to modify an oesophagogastric anastomotic technique that simplifies anastomosis.
Esophagectomy is a high-risk operation, regardless of technique. Minimally invasive transthoracic esophagectomy could reduce length of stay and pulmonary complications compared to traditional open approaches, but the benefits of minimally invasive tr...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (MIILE) provides better outcomes than open techniques, particularly in terms of post-operative recovery and pulmonary complications. However, in addition to requiring advanced technical skills, ...
Robot assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has evolved over the past decade to become procedure of choice at many centers all over the world. The objective of this study is to present our experience of robot assisted minimally invasive e...
