Minimally Invasive Transcervical Esophagectomy With Mediastinal Lymphadenectomy for Cancer. A Comparison With Standardized Techniques.
Anticancer Research 2022 Februrary
Pulmonary complications remain the most common problem following transthoracic esophagectomy. Minimally invasive approach has significantly improved clinical outcomes; however, respiratory distress is still significant. Minimally invasive transcervical esophagectomy with mediastinal lymphadenectomy avoids thoracic access, which may decrease pulmonary complications. Transcervical esophagectomy refers to transcervical esophageal mobilization and mediastinal lymphadenectomy followed by a transhiatal gastric and distal-esophageal mobilization, abdominal and lower mediastinal lymphadenectomy. Adoption of innovative minimally invasive techniques for the transcervical or transhiatal approach, such as laparoscopy or robotic-assisted mediastinoscopy have made possible transmediastinal approach for radical esophagectomy. This novel approach with avoidance of thoracotomy or thoracoscopy can omit one lung ventilation as in transthoracic esophagectomy. Patients with previous thoracic surgery, impaired respiratory system, and major comorbidities, who are unable to undergo transthoracic esophagectomy, become candidates for radical esophagectomy with promising results. Minimally invasive transcervical esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is a safe and feasible approach and may be a valuable alternative with promising clinical and oncological outcomes.
