Minimally invasive esophagectomy
ConclusionsMinimally invasive surgery for esophageal malignancies offers advantages when performed in an environment with sufficient expertise and caseload. Whether robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy further improves the results has to be investigated in the future. Intraoperative nerve monitoring and visualization of the graft perfusion with indocyanine green fluorescein should be used where available. Enhanced recovery protocols after surgery have become standard.
