Abstract: RESUMO -Racional -A esofagectomia laparoscópica transhiatal para doença benigna ou maligna do esôfago é cirurgia complexa, associada a altas taxas de morbimortalidade. Nas últimas décadas ganhou aceitação para o tratamento do câncer de esôfago e algumas doenças benignas por evitar toracotomia, diminuindo, assim as complicações associadas a essa abordagem. INTRODUÇÃOEm todo o mundo, o câncer de esôfago é a sexta maior causa de morte por neoplasia. Em 2003, 13.900 novos casos foram registrados nos EUA com 13.00… Show more

“…During transhiatal esophagectomy we can perform lymphadenectomy of only the celiac axis. Our experience using laparoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy shows that the procedure involves less pain and reduces the frequency of cardiac and respiratory complications in the postoperative period, findings that are in agreement with published reports [26,30]. Our patients had only ventilator-or leakrelated pneumonias.…”

“…Moreover, to reduce complications and to improve patient recovery, the use of minimally invasive procedures has been used. The implementation of these techniques, however, involves higher costs from extensive laparoscopic training and greater skill levels by the surgeon [12,15,23,30]. Conventional esophagectomy can be performed with either laparotomy and transhiatal dissection, or with laparotomy and thoracotomy, techniques that are associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality.…”
