摘要: Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common malignancy and sixth cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Esophagectomy provides a curative treatment but carries significant morbidity mortality. Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (ILE) one commonly employed open techniques esophagectomy. Minimally invasive approaches have been explored in ILE an effort to reduce operative morbidity. This article reviews recent literature minimally (MI-ILE), discusses its clinical outcomes, introduces robotic approach MI-ILE. MI-ILE has demonstrated comparable postoperative outcomes ILE, it shown potential blood loss length hospitalization. Due limited studies, no improvement long-term survival reported Robotic safe feasible, more studies are needed prove identifiable benefits. Randomized controlled trials comparing or with conventional warranted determine optimal surgical procedure for esophageal cancer.
