Abstract Background Single-incision throacoscopic and laparoscopic procedure has been applied to treating various diseases. In the current study, we applied this novel surgical technique in the minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Methods Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) with single-port approach in the thoracoscopic and laparoscopic procedures was attempted for patients with esophageal cancer. Patients with esophageal cancer who underwent MIE from 2006 to 2016 were evaluated. A 3–4 cm incision was created both in the thoracoscopic and the laparoscopic phases during the single-incision MIE procedures. A propensity-matched comparison was made between the two groups of patients with single-incision and multi-incision MIE. Results We analyzed a total of 48 pairs of patients with propensity-matched from the cohort of 360 patients undergoing MIE during 2006–2015. There were 12 patients having postoperative complications (25%), including 4 (8.3%) of anastomotic leakage one (2.1%) of pulmonary complications and 3 (6.3%) with vocal cord palsy in the patients undergoing single-incision MIE (SIMIE). There is no statistical difference in terms of postoperative ICU and hospital stay, number of dissected lymph nodes and presence of major surgical complications (anastomotic leakage and pulmonary complications) between the two groups of patients. The pain score one week after surgery was significantly lower in the single-incision group (P < 0.05). There was no surgical mortality in the single-incision MIE group. Conclusion Minimally invasive esophogectomy performed with a single-incision approach is feasible for treating patients with esophageal cancer, with a comparable perioperative outcome with that of multi-incision approaches. The postoperative pain one week after surgery was significantly reduced in patients undergoing single-incision MIE. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Abstract   Single-incision thoracoscopic and laparoscopic procedures has have been applied in treating various diseases. However, it is limited in literature for such procedures used in treating esophageal cancer. Methods Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) with a single-incision approach in the thoracoscopic and laparoscopic procedures was attempted in 144 patients with esophageal cancer. Results There was 96 patients underwent a McKeown procedure and 48 an Ivor Lewis procedure repectively. The mean ventilator usage of the patients after surgery was 0.3 ± 0.6 days, the mean ICU stay was 7.42 ± 17.15 days, and the mean number of dissected lymph nodes was 43.5 ± 21.8. There 11 patients suffered from postoperative complications, including 3 pulmonary complications, 4 anastomotic leakage and 4 vocal cord palsy. There are no 30-day mortality, however, there were one patient died from ARDS 40 days after surgery. Conclusion Single-port MIE seems to be a feasible option for treating patients with esophageal cancer, which offers an acceptable perioperative surgical outcome. However, the long-term survival results of the patients requires to be follow-up in the future.

Abstract Background The minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has been developed in the past three decades. In our institution, the MIE was first introduced in 2012, and the proportion of MIE was used for over 70% in 2016–2017. This study aimed to compare the postoperative recovery outcomes between MIE and open esophagectomy in different period. Methods A total of 725 patients were enrolled in this study including 248 patients who underwent open esophagectomy within 2012–2013 and 477 patients who underwent MIE within 2016–2017. All patients received McKeown esophagectomy with two-field lymphadenectomy. And the perioperative complications were recorded according to the Esophagectomy Complications Consensus Group (ECCG) complication definitions. Results There was no statistically difference between OPEN and MIE groups with regard to preoperative characters except for age (60.8 ± 7.2 vs. 62.7 ± 7.7, P < 0.001) and body mass index (22.4 ± 3.0 vs. 23.1 ± 3.0, P = 0.002). One (0.2%) patient in the MIE group died within 90 days from anastomotic leakage, compared to 6 (2.4%) patients in the OPEN group (P = 0.004). The length of hospital stay was shorter in the MIE group (11 range 6–131 days, vs. 15 range 9–164 days, P < 0.001). The MIE group was in favor of lower complications (32.3% vs. 46.4%, P < 0.001). Pneumonia was the most common complications in both groups (12.6% in MIE vs. 27.4% in OPEN, P < 0.001). 15 (3.1%) patients in the MIE group experienced atrial arrhythmias compared with 30 (12.1%) in the OPEN group (P < 0.001). Lower anastomotic leakage was noted in the MIE group (11.5% vs. 25.4%, P < 0.001), as well as the wound infection (0.2% vs. 2.8%, P = 0.001), than in the OPEN group. The recurrent nerve injury was higher in the MIE group (11.7% vs. 6.5%, P = 0.024) but with more lymph nodes dissection along the recurrent laryngeal nerve (3.8 ± 2.8 vs. 1.4 ± 2.0, P < 0.001). Conclusion The MIE was associated with better postoperative recovery outcomes and lower mortality. MIE technique should be considered as the mainstay surgical treatment for esophageal cancer in the current and future period. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Abstract Background Robot assisted surgery for esophageal cancer is rapidly increasing, especially high-volume centers with access to a robot. The fully robotic minimally invasive esophagectomy using 4 robotic arms in the abdomen and thorax (RAMIE4) is performed as standard procedure in our department. In this analysis we compare the results of our first 50 RAMIE4 procedures with our last 50 fully minimally-invasive esophagectomies (MIE), which was our standard prior the robotic era. Methods Between April 2016 and March 2018, the data from 100 consecutive patients with esophageal carcinoma undergoing modified Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy, performed by the same surgeon using the identical intrathoracic anastomotic reconstruction technique (circular stapler). 50 patients were treated with MIE and the other 50 with RAMIE4. Demographic data, extracted lymph nodes and R-status were compared. Complications occurred were compered according to the Dindo-Clavien classification. Results Demographic data did not show significant differences between the groups. The overall 30- and 90- mortality rates were 1% (1/100) and 3% (3/100) respectively (P = 0.305 and P = 0.499 respectively). In the RAMIE group the median lymph node harvest was significantly higher (27 vs. 23; P = 0.045), the median hospital stay was less in the RAMIE group, however not significantly (11.5d vs 13d; P = 0.112), the median ICU stay was significantly lower in the RAMIE group compared to MIE (1d vs 2.5d; P = 0.002). The complications according to the Dindo-Calvien classification were not significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.091). Conclusion In this study we were able to demonstrate the superiority of robotic assisted lymph node dissection for esophageal cancer surgery in a highly comparable setting. In addition the perioperative parameters, especially ICU stay seem to be in favor of RAMIE. The future potential of standardized RAMIE and RAMIE4 seems to be high.

Abstract Background Surgical resection with radical lymphadenectomy is a pivotal component in the multidisciplinary therapy of esophageal cancer. Minimally invasive esophagectomy was shown to be effective in reducing the morbidity and was adopted increasingly. As a novel minimally invasive technique, robot-assisted esophagectomy remains in the initial stage ofapplication. This study describes the single-institution experience of robotic esophagectomy. Methods Between March 2016 and October 2017, 20 consecutive patients underwent robot assisted esophagectomy at our institute. The thoracic and abdominal mobilization were all performed with the assistance of the robot. We retrospectively collected the operative data and postoperative outcomes. Results The majority of patients were male (80%), and the median age was 62 years. The average operative time was 342 minutes (range 280–440). The average blood loss was 112 ml (range 50–400). No patient experienced conversion to a thoracotomy or laparotomy. R0 resection was achieved in all patients, the mean number of dissected lymph nodes was 19 (range 8–32). No 90-day operative mortality was observed, and postoperative complications were present in 8 of 20 patients (40.0%). Pulmonary complications were the most common event and were observed in 3 patients. Two patients experienced an anastomotic leak. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that robot-assisted esophagectomy is a safe and technically feasible alternative to conventional thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy.

Common Causes

Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common malignancy worldwide, producing a high morbidity and mortality rate around the globe. Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is most commonly performed on patients with this devastating disease. Esophagectomy is a high-risk procedure, and perioperative mortality remains around 5%–8%. Because esophageal cancer is associated with chronic alcohol and tobacco use, patients have serious comorbid conditions that affect anesthetic management and perioperative care. Among them, pulmonary complications and anastomotic failure remain the most common causes of perioperative morbidity and mortality. The anesthesiologist managing a patient during MIE must be able to reduce the effect of the patient’s multiple comorbidities intraoperatively while mitigating the factors that lead to adverse postoperative outcomes.

Abstract Background Postoperative pulmonary complications are a common course of serious morbidity after esophageal resection. In literature rates of pneumonia are quoted up to 38%. Recent studies showed that minimally invasive esophagectomy could reduce this to 9 to 15%, but is this the only approach to lower the incidence of postoperative pneumonia? Methods We analysed our data from esophagectomies performed in our department between 2014 to 2017. Only procedures with thoracotomy due to malignancies were included. All patients received a single shot dose of piperacillin/tazobactam repeated after 4 hours during operation. Bronchoscopy was performed intraoperatively with bronchial toilet. Patients at risk (COPD or viscous secretion) recieved antibiotics for further 7 days. If postoperatively elevation of CRP or leucocytes ocurred, thorax CT scan was performed. Only when pulmonary infiltrates were visible pneumonia was diagnosed. Results 151 operations due to esophageal cancer were performed. Extended gastrectomies, minimal invasive esophagectomies with thoracoscopy and transhiatal resections were excluded. Only Ivor-Lewis resectios (108), McKeown resections (8) and colon interpositions (2) were analysed. The all over pneumonia rate was 13,6% (16 patients). The 30 day mortality was 2,5%. None of the patients died due to pneumonia. Conclusion To reduce postoperative pneumonia rates is an important aim in esophageal surgery. Latest data showed that minimally invasive surgery is adequate to achieve this. But not every patient is suitable for this procedure. From our single center experience we could show that also intraopereative bronchial toilet together with prophylactic antibiotic therapy could achieve good results.

Abstract Background Whether robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has any advantages over video-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (VAMIE) remains controversial. In this study, we tried to compare the short-term outcomes of RAMIE with that of VAMIE in treating middle thoracic esophageal cancer from a single medical center. Methods Consecutive patients undergoing RAMIE or VAMIE for middle thoracic esophageal cancer from April 2016 to April 2017 were prospectively included for analysis. Baseline data and pathological findings as well as short-term outcomes of these two group (RAMIE group and VAMIE group) patients were collected and compared. A total of 84 patients (RAMIE group: 42 patients, VAMIE group: 42 patients) were included for analysis. Results The baseline characteristics between the two groups were comparable. RAMIE yielded significantly larger numbers of total dissected lymph nodes (21.9 and 17.8, respectively; P = 0.042) and right recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) lymph nodes (2.1 and 1.2, respectively; P = 0.033) as well as abdominal lymph nodes (10.8 and 7.7, respectively; P = 0.041) than VAMIE. Even though RAMIE may consume more overall operation time, it could significant decrease total blood loss compared to VAMIE (97 and 161 ml, respectively; P = 0.015). Postoperatively, no difference of the risk of major complications or hospital stay was observed between the two groups. Conclusion RAMIE had significant advantage of lymphadenectomy especially for dissecting RLN lymph nodes over VAMIE with comparable rate of postoperative complications. Further randomized controlled trials are badly needed to confirm and update our conclusions. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Abstract Background Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has been an alternative treatment for esophageal cancer. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of single-port CO2-inflatabled mediastinoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical data was performed on 12 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent a single-port CO2-inflatabled mediastinoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy by one surgical team in Shanghai Changzheng hospital. Recorded outcome measures included operative time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, and perioperative complications. Results No perioperative mortality, pulmonary infection, arrhythmia, recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy and thoracic duct injury was observed in all patients. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss and pressure of CO2 was (219 ± 9.3)min, (26.3 ± 2.7)ml and (50.5 ± 4.6)mmHg. The mean number of dissected thoracic lymph nodes was 19 ± 1.5. One patient was converted to open surgery because of massive bleeding intraoperation. Two patients occurred postoperative anastomotic leakage. Conclusion A single-port CO2-inflatabled mediastinoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy provides safe and feasible approach to minimally invasive esophagectomy for patients with early esophageal cancer.
