Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic esophageal surgery has rapidly advanced in its 9-year history.
  • It is now a frequent minimally invasive procedure, second only to gallbladder surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current applications and emerging roles of laparoscopic esophageal surgery.
  • To highlight its significance in treating various esophageal conditions and cancers.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current surgical practices and clinical trials in laparoscopic esophageal surgery.
  • Analysis of the frequency and indications of different laparoscopic esophageal procedures.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic fundoplication is central to treating gastroesophageal reflux.
