    A novel surgical technique for esophageal resection was developed using a combined cervical and abdominal approach. This minimally invasive method showed no mortality or serious complications in 25 patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Esophageal resection is a complex procedure often requiring extensive surgical approaches.
    • Minimally invasive techniques aim to reduce patient morbidity and improve recovery times.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new surgical technique for esophageal resection.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A surgical approach involving a mediastinal tunnel created via cervical incision and laparotomy.
    • Diaphragmatic incision performed medially from the xiphoid process hiatus.

    Main Results:

    • The technique was successfully applied to 25 patients undergoing esophageal resection.
