Summary: This retrospective study evaluated the clinical outcomes of a double-docking technique for intrathoracic esophagogastrostomy in robotic Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. The results showed that the double-docking technique provided good surgical exposure without increasing the surgical time. It was deemed to be a safe and effective method for intrathoracic anastomosis.

Summary: Comparing the outcomes of end-to-side (with circular stapler) and side-to-side (with linear stapler) techniques for intrathoracic anastomosis during totally minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy (TMIIL), this study found that both techniques are feasible, safe, and effective, with comparable rates of postoperative anastomotic leakage and stricture.

Summary: This study investigated the feasibility, clinical utility, and safety of intrathoracic robotic-sewn esophageal anastomosis (IrEA) during Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma and type I tumors at the gastro-esophageal junction. The results showed that IrEA was associated with better surgical outcomes and comparable oncological outcomes compared to the current standard of care, highlighting the need for further validation and implementation in clinical practice.

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: 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 meta-analysis evaluated perioperative outcomes of esophagectomy with either thoracic or cervical anastomosis. The results showed that the Ivor Lewis procedure had a lower rate of anastomotic leak, lower rate of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, and shorter length of hospital stay compared to the McKeown procedure. Other outcome parameters were similar between the two groups.

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: There were no significant differences in anastomotic insufficiency and postoperative anastomotic stricture rates between the 25 mm and the 28 mm circular stapled esophagogastric anastomosis after Ivor Lewis esophagectomy.

Summary: Both laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with lower esophagectomy (extended LPG) and minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (MIILE) are acceptable treatments for adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG). The novel side-overlap esophagogastric-tube (SO-EG) reconstruction technique showed promising results in preventing reflux esophagitis based on a retrospective review of 10 patients.
