Laparoscopic Transhiatal Esophagectomy for Barrett's Esophagus with High Grade Dysplasia
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND A number of case reports have described the application of minimally invasive surgical techniques to accomplish esophagectomy. However, most reports have employed thoracoscopic or laparoscopic techniques to perform esophagectomy in addition to an "access" incision which often approaches a standard laparotomy or thoracotomy. CASE REPORT This report describes a total laparoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy in a 55 year old female with Barrett's esophagus and high grade dysplasia. CONCLUSIONS The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged home on the fourth day after a total laparoscopic esophagectomy. This report demonstrates the technical feasibility of this complex procedure by a minimally invasive approach.

متن کاملRecurrent Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma after esophagectomy
BACKGROUND Esophagectomy is considered the gold standard for the treatment of high-grade dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus (BE) and for noninvasive adenocarcinoma (ACA) of the distal esophagus. If all of the metaplastic epithelium is removed, the patient is considered "cured". Despite this, BE has been reported in patients who have previously undergone esophagectomy. It is often debated whether ...
