Esophageal Cancer - Surgery
This clinical video demonstrates the preservation of a replaced left hepatic artery during the creation of a gastric conduit in a robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) for post-neoadjuvant esophageal adenocarcinoma. The patient was a 61-year-old...
This study aimed to explore the impact of socioeconomic disparities on the uptake of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer. Using data from the American National Cancer...
The patient is a sixty-two-year-old male with notable past medical history of GERD who was diagnosed with T3N1 esophageal adenocarcinoma during an endoscopy for dysphagia. Endoscopic evaluation demonstrated gross changes...
Esophagectomy is associated with significant postoperative morbidity and mortality (1). In an effort to reduce these outcomes, many medical communities have adopted minimally invasive techniques for esophagectomy. A variety of...
This study aimed to measure the quality of life (QOL) as reported by patients after esophagectomy, a procedure which has a high rate of mortality. Researchers found that the one...
Total minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy can be a feasible approach in patients with history of multiple intraabdominal surgeries, as demonstrated in the video below. This suggests generalizability of the...
To understand the shift toward nonsurgical management of esophageal cancer, researchers set out to determine the long-term quality of life (QOL) after esophagectomy. This study found that, in esophagectomy patients...
This video shows a case in which a colonic interposition is performed to restore enteric continuity after a failed Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy in a sixty-one-year-old male. This initial surgery was performed...
Because of the major developments in the treatment of esophageal cancer in recent decades, the authors of this study conducted it at a tertiary referral center to determine if long-...
Although the standard of care in the West for regionally advanced esophageal cancer entails induction therapy, this is routinely not the case in China. This randomized trial involving over 450...
Data from the Esodata project used more than 8,000 patients undergoing esophagectomy for cancer to develop a risk prediction score for 90-day mortality. Development and validation groups were used. There...
Chyle leak remains a challenging postoperative complication to manage, and avoidance is always easier than mitigation. The only predisposing factor identified in this study was low BMI. Although ICU stay...
The previous randomized study of minimally invasive esophagectomy vs open esophagectomy (TIME trial) conducted in the Netherlands demonstrated reduced pulmonary complications and LOS with MIE. Compared to the benefits of...
