Abstract:
Carcinoma of the esophagus is one of the common malignant tumors, and surgical treatment is still the main method for the treatment of esophageal cancer. With the development of thoracoscopic and laparoscopic instruments, minimally invasive esophagectomy is more and more widely used in the treatment of esophageal cancer. At present, minimally invasive esophagectomy mainly includes thoracoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy, mediastinoscopic esophagectomy, robot assisted esophagectomy, etc. At present, there are many studies on the comparison between minimally invasive esophagectomy and open esophagectomy. Although it is not clear which minimally invasive surgical method is more superior, each method may be superior to open esophagectomy in terms of blood loss, pulmonary complications and hospital stay. No matter what method is used, surgeons must be trained in a structured system to improve the level of experience required for independent operation. Ultimately, with the implementation of experienced doctors, the minimally invasive method in esophagectomy is superior to open esophagectomy in technically feasible cancer cases.
