Minimally invasive esophagectomies (MIEs) are now standard surgical practice. This study details reproducible anastomotic techniques for MIEs, ensuring safe and effective esophageal reconstruction.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Oncology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Esophagectomies are complex procedures.
- Minimally invasive esophagectomies (MIEs) have become the preferred approach.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the evolution and support for MIEs.
- To present preferred methods for esophageal anastomosis after MIE.
Main Methods:
- Examination of MIE evolution.
- Description of standard anastomotic techniques.
- Utilizing laparoscopic instruments.
Main Results:
- Established standard methods for neo-esophagus to remnant esophagus anastomosis.
- Techniques applicable in the neck and thorax.
- Methods refined through extensive practice.
Conclusions:
- Anastomotic methods are readily available for any MIE technique.
- Step-by-step instructions are provided.
- Procedures are safe, reproducible, and use standard instruments.

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.
