Pharyngolaryngectomy with thoracoscopic esophagectomy via the left thoracic approach for cervical esophageal cancer with right aortic arch: Case report

Abstract

We performed pharyngolaryngectomy with thoracoscopic esophagectomy via the left thoracic approach and reconstruction of the elongated gastric conduit with microvascular anastomosis for an 83-year-old male patient with esophageal cancer and right aortic arch. For such cases, a surgical approach via the left thoracic cavity is rational, and cases of pharyngolaryngectomy with thoracoscopic esophagectomy require a long reconstruction organ. Also, in cases of right aortic arch, a longer reconstruction route is made to avoid Kommerell's diverticulum. The patient had laryngeal cancer and was diagnosed with cervical
