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 found that the costs of minimally invasive esophagectomy are mainly influenced by preoperative risk factors and postoperative outcomes. The main predictors of operative costs include age, body mass index, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, and year of surgery, while predictors of postoperative costs include postoperative renal failure, respiratory failure, pneumonia, and reoperation.

Summary: This retrospective study compared 165 esophageal carcinoma patients who underwent esophagectomy with either RAMIE or conventional MIE. RAMIE had longer operative times but showed better outcomes in terms of postoperative complications and pulmonary complications compared to conventional MIE.

Summary: By comparing the surgical outcomes of MIE and OE for esophageal cancer, it was found that MIE had lower incidences of in-hospital mortality, morbidities, such as surgical site infection and anastomotic leakage, and a shorter postoperative length of stay; however, it also had higher incidences of vocal cord dysfunction and prolonged intubation period after esophagectomy.

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: In patients with cT4b esophageal cancer treated with dCRT followed by a salvage RAMIE, a radical resection rate of 92% was achieved, with acceptable complications and promising survival rates. These results demonstrate the feasibility of a curative surgical treatment for patients with initially irresectable esophageal cancer but underscore the importance of proper preoperative patient selection.

Summary: Based on the analysis of the National Cancer Database (NCDB), it was found that overall survival was significantly longer in patients with esophageal cancer who underwent robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) compared to those who underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) or open esophagectomy (OE).

Summary: Salvage minimally invasive esophagectomy (S-MIE) is more feasible and advantageous than salvage open esophagectomy (S-OE), with lower rates of postoperative pneumonia and total complications.

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: Minimally invasive surgery is a growing field that has replaced many open surgical techniques. Mediastinoscope-assisted esophagectomy is a promising technique that aims to decrease the surgical burden and enhance recovery.

Summary: Despite improved outcomes, anastomotic strictures are still associated with minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE), especially in North America where there is limited research on this topic.

Summary: This article provides a comprehensive review of the literature comparing perioperative outcomes and long-term survival between robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) and minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for esophageal cancer. The results suggest that RAMIE is comparable to MIE in perioperative outcomes, but may have advantages in lymph node dissection in the abdominal cavity, lymph nodes dissected along the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, and 3-year disease-free survival.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of three-field lymphadenectomy (3-FL) with standard two-field lymphadenectomy (2-FL) in minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for esophageal cancer. The results showed that 3-FL allowed for more lymph nodes harvest and accurate staging without increased surgical risks, despite longer operation time compared to 2-FL.

Summary: This study compared long-term survival between minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) and open surgery (OE) for esophageal cancer. The results showed that the long-term survival rates were similar for MIE and OE in patients undergoing transthoracic or transhiatal procedures. MIE resulted in a more extensive lymphadenectomy, but transhiatal MIE had more postoperative complications.
