Minimally invasive transhiatal esophagectomy: lessons learned

Abstract: Minimally invasive transhiatal esophagectomy is feasible in our unit, with acceptable mortality. The high rate of anastomotic stenosis has resulted in a change to a semimechanical, side-to-side isoperistaltic technique. The high rate of recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries has resulted in the avoidance of metal retractors at the tracheo-esophageal groove.

“…Both strategies have been shown to be feasible and safe, with minimally invasive techniques providing comparable short-and long-term outcomes [22][23][24]. In our study, transhiatal procedures were not included in order to focus on the comparison between open and minimally invasive transthoracic esophagectomy.…”

“…For carcinomas of the lower thoracic esophagus, different tumor characteristics between the Western and Eastern countries cause various attitudes on their surgical management [4] . Depending on the attending surgeon's philosophy, surgical approaches to carcinomas of the lower thoracic esophagus vary from the conventional left thoraco-abdominal approach [5,6] to the transhiatal approach without thoracotomy [7][8][9] , Ivor Lewis approach [10][11][12] , and recently reported thoracoscopic approach [13][14][15] . On the other hand, controversy continues over the optimal extent of lymphadenectomy to be performed with esophagectomy.…”
