Summary: This study suggests that minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is associated with higher 5-year survival compared to open esophagectomy (OE) in patients with esophageal cancer, especially total MIE.

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 indicates that compared to hybrid esophagectomy, completely minimally invasive esophagectomy reduces postoperative pulmonary infections and overall complications in resectable esophageal and GEJ cancer cases. There were no significant differences in 6-month overall survival and disease-free survival rates between the two approaches.

Summary: Unplanned conversion to open esophagectomy during minimally invasive esophagectomy is associated with significantly higher morbidity and a 2.6-fold increased risk of death compared to completed MIE or planned open esophagectomy. The ACS NSQIP Surgical Risk Calculator may help identify patients at higher risk for conversion to open esophagectomy during MIE.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (M-ILE) and open Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (O-ILE) for patients with esophageal carcinoma. The results showed that M-ILE had lower postoperative adverse events and shorter hospital stay compared to O-ILE, with no significant difference in survival rates and recurrence-free survival rates.

Summary: This study compares the short-term outcomes of standardized RAMIE and HE and confirms the safety and feasibility of both procedures in a high-risk European population. RAMIE patients had a shorter ICU stay and a lower rate of postoperative complications. Both procedures showed excellent results in terms of lymph node harvest and R0 resection rates.

Summary: This study compared open esophagectomy (OE), video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), and robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) in a single institution, showing that RAMIE group had significantly fewer overall postoperative complications compared with OE and VATS groups. In particular, recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis was significantly lower in the RAMIE group.

Summary: The paradigm of esophageal cancer treatment has shifted towards minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) over open esophagectomy (OE), with MIE showing trends towards decreased 30-day and 90-day postoperative mortality and fewer major cardiovascular and respiratory complications. Minor postoperative complications may also be reduced with MIE.

Summary: This retrospective study aimed to compare the short-term outcomes of esophageal cancer patients undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) with and without epidural analgesia (EDA). The study found that EDA use was associated with decreased in-hospital mortality, respiratory complications, and anastomotic leakage. Furthermore, EDA use was also associated with other positive outcomes such as reduced mechanical ventilation time, shorter postoperative length of stay, and lower total hospitalization costs.

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: This nationwide analysis found an association between bariatric hospitals and improved short-term outcomes after MIE. Bariatric hospitals were associated with a reduced risk of overall complications, shorter length of hospital stay, and reduced ICU stay after MIE.

Summary: Background: This study aimed to investigate the impact of pleural adhesions on surgical and oncological outcomes in patients undergoing McKeown minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for esophageal cancer. The presence of pleural adhesions was found to be associated with prolonged operation time, longer hospital stay, postoperative pneumonia, and hydrothorax requiring drainage. However, it did not have an unfavorable effect on long-term survival.

Summary: TMIIL with a 3-cm linear-stapled anastomosis appears to be safe and effective, with low rates of post-operative anastomotic leak and stricture. Overall complication rates are relatively low.

Summary: This study compared the quality of life (QOL) outcomes between patients undergoing robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) and open esophagectomy (OE). The results showed that patients who underwent RAMIE had higher QOL scores over a 2-year follow-up period, including improved esophageal symptoms, emotional well-being, and decreased pain severity compared to those who underwent OE.
