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...
PURPOSE: The robot-assisted approach for Ivor Lewis esophagectomy offers an enlarged, three-dimensional overview of the intraoperative situs. The vagal nerve (VN) can easily be detected, preserved, and intentionally resected below the separation poin...
BACKGROUND: As a first step to prevent recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy, we have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based anatomical recognition system for critical anatomical structures in robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy ...
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).
