Summary: The objective of this study was to determine the long-term survival outcomes and factors associated with overall survival in esophageal cancer patients undergoing a minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. The results showed that MILE offers favorable long-term overall and disease-free survival outcomes, and age, Karnofsky performance status score, stage IV disease, and disease recurrence were identified as prognostic factors for overall survival.

Summary: The increasing prevalence of morbid obesity in the United States has led to a rise in bariatric surgery. This report presents a case study of a 55-year-old woman with previous Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery who was diagnosed with invasive adenocarcinoma, highlighting the need for minimally invasive techniques and the safety and feasibility of esophagectomy in this patient population.

Summary: The study found that a minimally invasive abdomen-only approach for esophageal resection in specific patient populations is as safe as a minimally invasive Ivor Lewis approach, with the added benefit of shorter operative duration.

Summary: This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing RAMIE and MIE as surgical treatments for resectable esophageal adenocarcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction in the Western World. The primary outcome is the total number of resected lymph nodes in the abdomen and mediastinum per lymph node station.

Summary: This article reviews the current state of research on minimally invasive esophagectomy, comparing outcomes of minimally invasive surgery, robot-assisted surgery, and open surgery, and discussing how surgeons can select the most appropriate method based on these outcomes.

Summary: Background: Complications following minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy can result from inadequate nutrition, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures. This study aimed to identify predictive factors for complications and assess their impact on postoperative outcomes. Results: Analysis of 149 patients revealed BMI and surgery duration as potential risk factors for complications. High BMI and longer surgery duration were associated with an increased likelihood of anastomotic insufficiency and the need for multi-cycle EndoVac therapy. Conclusions: Identifying high BMI and longer surgery duration can help proactively address nutritional challenges and reduce complications following minimally invasive esophagectomy.

Summary: The study reported the experience of using ICG-FA-PINPOINT(R) assisted minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy, and found that non-perfusion and diabetes were independent factors associated with anastomotic leak.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic literature search and meta-analysis to determine the surgical outcomes of totally minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy (TMIE). The results showed that TMIE is a challenging procedure with high morbidity rates. Strategies to improve postoperative outcomes are still needed.

Summary: Hybrid and totally minimally invasive esophagectomy are associated with lower rates of overall morbidity, reduced postoperative mortality, and shorter length of hospital stay compared with open esophagectomy. Totally minimally invasive esophagectomy has lower mortality rates and shorter length of hospital stay compared with hybrid esophagectomy.

Summary: A retrospective cohort study on 104 patients who underwent MIILE with linear stapled anastomosis for esophageal malignant tumors showed that the procedure is safe with low anastomotic complication rate and favorable long-term functional and survival outcomes.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical outcomes of TMIE and HMIE in Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy. The results showed that TMIE had better short-term outcomes in terms of blood loss and postoperative complications compared to HMIE. Additionally, the HMIE group had higher pain scores and more patients requiring additional analgesia after surgery.

Summary: The study introduces a new robot-assisted hand-sewn esophago-gastric anastomosis technique in minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy, with preliminary results showing promising outcomes and no anastomotic leaks. Further cases are required to validate these encouraging results.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of the modified Ivor-Lewis procedure, which preserves the azygous vein, thoracic duct, and surrounding tissues, with the traditional Ivor-Lewis procedure for treating esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The results showed that the modified procedure had shorter operative time, less intraoperative bleeding, and lower postoperative chest drainage. There were no significant differences in local recurrence, distant metastasis, and 3-year postoperative survival rate between the two groups.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 140 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy. The study presented the surgical procedure, complications, and survival rates. The results showed that minimally invasive surgery had low mortality and long-term survival rates in esophageal cancer.

Summary: This study investigated the pooled learning curves of Ivor Lewis totally minimally invasive esophagectomy (TMIE) in European hospitals. It found that centers with higher annual volume had more efficient learning curves, while visiting expert clinics, completing fellowships, or implementing under proctor supervision were not associated with more efficient learning.
