PS01.231: Efficacy of Artificial Pneumothorax With Single-Lumen Tracheal Tube Ventilation in Thoracoscopic Subtotal Esophagectomy in the Semi- Prone Position
Abstract:Background
Thoracoscopic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer performed with single-lumen tracheal tube ventilation in the semi-prone position provides the advantages of easier anesthesia induction; easiness of left-sided recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph node dissection; and shortening of the transit time to laparotomy. The aim of this study was to clarify the surgical safety and anesthetic procedure associated with thoracoscopic esophagectomy with single-lumen tracheal tube ventilation by intr… Show more
