Background:
Esophagectomies are a notoriously difficult procedure that have undergone drastic changes over the last decade. In particular, the adoption of minimally invasive esophagectomies (MIEs) as the gold standard.
Methods:
We examine the evolution of the MIE, the support for this method, and our preferred methods for the creation of anastomoses following the resection.
Results:
The submission of techniques that, after many years of practice, have become our standard methods for anastomosing the Neo-esophagus to the remnant esophagus both at the neck, and within the thorax.
Conclusion:
No matter which MIE technique is chosen, these anastomotic methods are readily available. Each is provided with step-by-step instructions, performed with standard laparoscopic instruments, and in a safe and reproducible manner.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.
