Laparoscopic-assisted Esophageal Bypass for T4b Esophageal Tumor as a Bridge to Definitive Therapy

Conclusion: 3D laparoscopic-assisted esophageal bypass can be a safe and feasible approach in patients with advanced mid-esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophagobroncial fistula. Additionally to the advantages of laparoscopic surgery, this operation permits oral feeding, and can be used with possible curative intent in patients with adequate response to chemoradiotherapy.
