[da Vinci Single-port Esophagectomy via the Subcostal Approach].

Abstract

The introduction of the da Vinci SP system has led to the classification of surgical robotic platforms into multiple-port and single-port systems. Esophagectomy for esophageal cancer can now be performed through various approaches, including transthoracic, transcervical, transhiatal, and subcostal routes. Future studies are warranted to determine which robotic system is most suitable for each approach and provides optimal short- and long-term outcomes.
