Robotic-assisted surgery is revolutionizing esophageal procedures. This technology offers a safe and effective approach for various esophageal disorders, though further research is needed.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques
  • Advancements in surgical robotics

Background:

  • Minimally invasive approaches for esophageal disease have seen slow adoption, with exceptions in laparoscopic management of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
  • Robotic-assisted surgical systems are transforming esophageal surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature on robotic-assisted esophageal surgery.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of robotic systems in treating esophageal disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review using keywords: "robotic," "esophageal surgery," "esophagectomy," "fundoplication," and "esophageal myotomy."
  • Analysis of reference lists from identified articles.

Main Results:

  • Forty-nine studies were included in the review, encompassing literature reviews, case reports, case series (retrospective and prospective), and randomized controlled trials.

  • Robotic-assisted esophageal surgery has demonstrated safety and effectiveness across various conditions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Robotic-assisted esophageal surgery is a safe and effective treatment for esophageal disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, achalasia, leiomyomas, and cancer.
    • While robotic systems offer significant benefits for esophageal disorder management, further research, including randomized controlled trials, is warranted.
