Summary: This study compared the long-term survival outcomes of patients with T1bN0M0 esophageal cancer after thoracoscopic esophagectomy (TE) versus open esophagectomy (OE). The results showed that the prognosis after TE was not inferior to OE, based on the data from a prospective multicenter trial.

Summary: Following thoracoscopic esophagectomy, performing laparoscopy can reduce blood loss and the risk of pneumonia, albeit with a longer operating time. The lymph node yield and overall survival for patients treated with laparoscopy are similar to those treated with open laparotomy.

Summary: The VAME group showed superior outcomes in terms of operation time, number of dissected lymph nodes, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of pneumonia, and length of hospital stay compared to the VATE group. Chyle leak incidence appeared to be lower in the VAME group, but further studies are needed to confirm its significance.

Summary: This study investigated the safety and efficacy of glasses-free three-dimensional (3D) thoracoscopic surgery in minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. The results showed that compared with two-dimensional (2D) thoracoscopic surgery, glasses-free 3D thoracoscopic surgery had a shorter operation time, more lymph node dissection, and no significant difference in other clinical outcomes. Therefore, glasses-free 3D thoracoscopic surgery is considered a safe and effective surgical procedure for esophageal cancer.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of minimally invasive esophagectomy with open surgery in elderly patients. The results showed that minimally invasive surgery reduced postoperative complications, especially pulmonary complications, in the elderly population.

Summary: Robot-assisted esophagectomy (RAE) is associated with longer operating time, reduced blood loss, and significantly reduced pulmonary complications compared to minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). However, RAE has no significant impact on anastomotic leak, chyle leak, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, cardiac complication, infectious complications, conversion to open surgery, or early mortality.

Summary: Diaphragmatic endometriosis (DE) is a rare and often misdiagnosed condition, primarily detected through surgery. This study described the treatment of 215 patients with DE, and by developing standardized surgical approaches and specific techniques, the rate of postoperative complications was effectively reduced.

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 investigated the short- and long-term outcomes of thoracoscopic esophagectomy (TE) in older patients and found that the overall survival and relapse-free survival were worse in the elderly group compared to the non-elderly group, especially when pulmonary complications occurred. Therefore, perioperative management to prevent pulmonary complications is crucial for improving the long-term outcomes of older patients receiving TE.

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: This study found that thoracoscopic esophagectomy has advantages in terms of operative duration and blood loss compared to open esophagectomy, with no significant difference in complication rates. The incidence of postoperative pneumonia was lower and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis was higher after thoracoscopic esophagectomy compared to open esophagectomy.

Summary: This study compared stapled segmentectomy (SS) and non-stapled segmentectomy (NSS) techniques in terms of perioperative outcomes, lung volume preservation, and postoperative lung function, finding that lung volume preservation was not significantly influenced by different segmentectomy techniques. Surgeons should consider individual patient characteristics when choosing a segmentectomy technique.

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.
