BACKGROUND: Oncological esophageal surgery has evolved significantly in the last decades. From open esophagectomy over (hybrid) minimally invasive surgery, nowadays, robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) approaches are applied. Curr...
BACKGROUND: Esophagectomy with lymphadenectomy is the principal treatment for localized esophageal cancer. Conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (C-MIE) in prone position has spread worldwide as it is less invasive. However, its efficacy rema...
BACKGROUND: Given the worldwide popularization of conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (C-MIE), robot-assisted MIE (RAMIE) can be expected to provide a finer procedure. However, controversy remains regarding whether RAMIE is superior to C-MI...
BACKGROUND: We investigate the incidence and risk factors for post-operative outcomes including chyle leak following minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).
Thoracolaparoscopic esophagectomy (TLE) for carcinoma esophagus has better short-term outcomes compared to open esophagectomy. The precise role of robot-assisted laparoscopic esophagectomy (RALE) is still evolving. Single center retrospective analysi...
