Laparoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.
BACKGROUND Traditional esophagectomy may be associated with mortality, considerable morbidity, and lengthy recovery. It is often performed in cancer patients who are typically older, have associated comorbidities, and are often malnourished, all factors that increase surgical risk. Minimally invasive esophagectomy has the potential advantages of being a less traumatic procedure with an easier p...
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...
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 کاملDiaphragmatic Hernia after Transhiatal Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer
Diaphragmatic hernia was found in a patient who had undergone transhiatal esophagectomy for early esophageal cancer. Chest X-ray was not helpful, but abdominal or chest computed tomography was useful for accurate diagnosis. Primary repair through thoracotomy was performed and was found to be feasible and effective. However, long-term follow-up is required because hernia recurrence is common.
متن کاملTransthoracic versus transhiatal esophagectomy for distal esophageal cancer: which is superior?
A best evidence topic in cardiothoracic surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether transthoracic esophagectomy (TTE) or transhiatal esophagectomy (THE) resection provides superior outcomes for patients with distal esophageal cancer. Two hundred and sixteen papers were found using the reported search, of which six represented the best evidence to a...
