Abstract
The technique and concept of surgical treatment of esophageal cancer are constantly progressing. Using a combination of transcervical mediastinoscopy and robotic systems, this approach facilitates upper mediastinal operations without the need for thoracic manipulation. Its potential advantages comprise shorter operation times, reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and fewer pulmonary complications. Additionally, patients unfit for traditional thoracic surgery might benefit from this approach. This article aims to introduce and share the surgical techniques and prospects of robot-assisted transmediastinal esophagectomy.
