Abstract:
Several minimally invasive approaches for esophagectomy have been described, including robot-assisted esophagectomy and hybrid techniques, total transhiatal laparoscopic approach, esophagectomy using right thoracoscopy, combined laparoscopic and right thoracoscopic esophagectomy, and esophageal resection through mediastinoscopy. However, very few publications have focused on the uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) approach. The authors describe their technique of the minimally invasive esophagectomy using uniportal VATS as the thoracic step.
