Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is gaining popularity, but variations in surgical approaches hinder outcome comparisons.
  • A lack of standardized international definitions and nomenclature complicates research and clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish international consensus on definitions and nomenclature for minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).
  • To facilitate accurate comparison of MIE outcomes and improve global patient care.

Main Methods:

  • An international, multispecialty committee developed definitions and nomenclature for MIE.
  • A systematic PubMed search, expert review, and author consensus guided the process.

Main Results:

  • A consensus definition for MIE was established, focusing on the surgical approach and visualization.
  • A flexible nomenclature system was proposed to describe current and future MIE procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized definitions and nomenclature for MIE are essential for accurate outcome comparison in research.
  • A common language will enhance communication among surgeons, researchers, and patients worldwide, driving best practices and improving outcomes.
