Endoscopic submucosal dissection for early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: long-term results from a Western cohort
Conclusion In this Western cohort with long-term follow-up, the effectiveness and safety of ESD for early ESCC was confirmed, although the rate of noncurative resections was substantial. Irrespective of curative status, the long-term prognosis of these patients was limited mainly due to competing mortality.

A successful endovascular aortic repair of aortoesophageal fistula following esophagectomy: a case report and literature review
Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is an extremely rare and highly fatal complication leading to a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Successful management of AEF after esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma has... (Source: Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery)

Benefits of camrelizumab plus carboplatin and albumin paclitaxel as induction therapy for locally advanced borderline resectable or unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
ConclusionCamrelizumab plus albumin paclitaxel and carboplatin were found to be safe and effective in the neoadjuvant treatment of borderline resectable or unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer. It was observed to improve the rate of curative resection without increasing perioperative complications. (Source: Thoracic Cancer)

Impact of pulmonary complications following esophagectomy on long-term survival: multivariate meta-analysis and restricted mean survival time assessment
This study suggests a moderate clinical impact of PC on long-term OS, CSS, and DFS after esophagectomy. Patients not experiencing PC seem to have a significantly reduced mortality hazard up to 5 years of follow-up.Graphical abstract (Source: Updates in Surgery)

Robot-assisted transcervical esophagectomy with a bilateral cervical approach for thoracic esophagectomy
ConclusionsRobot-assisted bilateral transcervical esophagectomy, a novel procedure for thoracic esophageal cancer, was safe and feasible. Using this procedure, the incidence of recurrent nerve palsy, which is a problem with transcervical esophagectomy and mediastinoscopic esophagectomy, is expected to decrease.

Clinical T2N0M0 Esophageal Cancer - Identifying Predictive Factors of Upstaging
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of dysphagia and high max SUV (>5) of the tumor is predictive of more advanced underlying disease for patients with cT2N0M0 esophageal cancer and should be considered for neoadjuvant therapy.PMID:38307482 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.01.019 (Source: The Annals of Thoracic Surgery)

Critical swallowing functions contributing to dysphagia in patients with recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis after esophagectomy
ConclusionsImpaired hyoid bone elevation is a specific dysphagia factor in patients with RLNP, suggesting compensatory epiglottis inversion by hyoid bone elevation is important for incomplete glottis closure caused by RLNP. (Source: Esophagus)

Thoracoabdominal Esophagectomy: Then and Now
CONCLUSIONS: When performed as the primary approach in high volumes, TAE can be performed with comparable outcomes to non-TAE with low morbidity. Present-day, we find TAE is most useful in patients with truncal obesity, prior abdominal operations, and locally advanced cardia tumors with potential for variable extent of resection.PMID:38290595 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.12.017 (Source: The Annals of Thoracic Surgery)

Minimally Invasive Modified McKeown Esophagectomy
McKeown esophagectomy is a transthoracic esophagectomy with a cervical anastomosis that is an established mainstay for the management of benign and malignant esophageal pathology. It has gone through multiple modifications. The most current version utilizes robotic or minimally invasive ports through both the right chest and abdominal portions. There is decreased pain and hospital length of stay compared to the open technique. However, anastomotic leak and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury continue to occur. Advancements in management of complications has decreased mortality, making this surgical approach a relevant option ...
