This study details the robotic-assisted transhiatal esophagectomy technique for esophageal cancer. It provides a step-by-step guide for performing this minimally invasive surgical approach.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Robotic-assisted transhiatal esophagectomy was first described in 2003.
  • Debate exists regarding the oncologic outcomes of transhiatal versus thoracic esophagectomy for malignancy.
  • Comparative data between surgical approaches remain limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique for robotic-assisted transhiatal esophagectomy.
  • To provide guidance on patient selection and procedural steps for this approach.
  • To contribute to the understanding of transhiatal robotic resection for esophageal cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Step-by-step description of the robotic-assisted transhiatal esophagectomy procedure.
  • Video demonstration of the surgical technique.
