Laparoscopic Transhiatal Esophagectomy at a Low-Volume Center
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Surgical treatment of esophageal cancer is associated with a high rate of morbidity, even in specialized centers. Minimally invasive esophageal resection has become increasingly feasible and is gaining popularity in some high-volume institutions. This study assesses the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy performed by a single surgeon at a sin...

متن کاملHand-Assisted Laparoscopic Transhiatal Esophagectomy Using the Dexterity Pneumo Sleeve
BACKGROUND As the use of laparoscopic techniques have expanded to more complicated procedures, limitations of laparoscopy have begun to be realized. To help regain the ability to palpate and bluntly dissect tissues, and handle larger organs, surgeons have begun to utilize devices which allow the surgeon's hand to be inserted into the abdomen during laparoscopic procedures. One such devices is t...
متن کاملLaparoscopic versus open transhiatal esophagectomy for distal and junction cancer.
BACKGROUND the only curative treatment for esophageal cancer is surgical resection. This treatment is associated with a high morbidity rate and long in-hospital recovery period. Both transthoracic and transhiatal esophagectomies are performed worldwide. The transhiatal approach may reduce the respiratory infection rate in compromised patients with distal esophageal and gastro-esophageal (GE) ca...
