Robot-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the semi-prone position

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Recent developments in robotic technology have enabled the introduction of robotic surgery in patients with esophageal cancer. Robotic esophagectomy enables the meticulous dissection in the restricted anatomic spaces and complex procedures with three-dimensional view, articulation of the instruments and tremor filtering. In several papers, robotic esophagectomy has been proven as technically feasible and safe procedures in terms of short-term operative outcomes. In this chapter, we described the detailed procedures of robotic esophagectomy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
