Abstract Description Totally Minimally Invasive Ivor Lewis Esophagectomy has been proven feasible and safe in terms of overall mortality, morbidity and oncologic outcomes. Technical problems still exist in anastomotic fashioning and esophagogastric leakage represents the most feared complication. Its incidence is strictly related to technical difficulties and to the ischemia of the tissue involved in the anastomosis. We think angiography with Indocyanine Color Green can help the experienced surgeon to better evaluate the adequacy of the gastric tube therefore reducing the incidence of anastomotic leak.

Abstract Description Minimally invasive technologies have improved outcomes after esophagectomy and the use of robotic technology in Europe is rapidly increasing. Aim of this study is to evaluate the introduction of new technologies in a center of excellence for upper gastrointestinal surgery. Methods A standardized teaching protocol of a complete OR team was performed in simulation and animal models at the center for the future of surgery (San Diego, CA) and IRCAD (Strasbourg, France) to receive certification as console surgeons. Starting 02/2017 the davinci xi and stryker ICG laparoscopy systems were introduced at our academic center (certified center of excellence for surgery of the upper gastrointestinal tract, n > 300 esophageal cases/year). After simple training procedures based on our minimally invasive expertise were performed, difficulty was increased based on a modular step up approach to safely perform robotic thoracic assisted Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. Results From 02/2017–02/2018, a total of 35 robotic cases were performed. All cases were performed safely without operation-associated complications. Level of difficulty was increased based on our modular step up approach without quality compromises. Video documentation using the new technology is provided. Conclusion The standardized training protocol and our modular step up approach allowed safe introduction of the new technology used. All cases were performed safely without operation-associated complications. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Abstract Description One of the major concerns in esophagic surgery is the safety of the esophagogastric anastomosis. Anastomotic leak is associated with important morbidity and mortality. Leak rates have been reported in 4.7% of patients in the Ivor-Lewis procedure and 5.2% for cervical anastomosis. Leak rate has been associated with insufficient vascular supply to the gastric conduit. Indocyanine green (ICG) assessment of the vascularization may be a useful tool to avoid this dreadful complication. Methods A 50-year-old man with medical history of high blood pressure and right pneumothorax was diagnosed of adenocarcinoma of the lower esophagus cT3N3. Neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy following CROSS principles was administered. Six weeks after the end of neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy a minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy was performed. ICG helped the identification of the right gastroepiploic arcade and of the adequate vascular supply to the gastric conduit. During thoracoscopy, ICG was helpful to assess the vascular supply to the gastric conduit after pull-up into the chest and to check the vascularization of the esophagogastric anastomosis. Results Postoperative evolution was uneventful. Oral intake was resumed on the third postoperative day. Patient was discharged on the 8th postoperative day. Conclusions ICG assessment of the vascularization of the gastric conduit is feasible, safe and helpful in Ivor-Lewis minimally invasive esophagectomy and may decrease the leak rate.

Abstract   To compare complications following totally minimally invasive (TMIE), laparoscopically assisted (hybrid) and open Ivor Lewis esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer. Three randomized trials have reported benefits for minimally invasive esophagectomy. Two studies compared TMIE versus open esophagectomy and another compared hybrid versus open Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. Only small retrospective studies compared TMIE with hybrid Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. Methods Data were used from the International Esodata Study Group assessing patients undergoing TMIE, hybrid or open Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. Primary outcome was pneumonia, secondary outcomes included incidence and severity of anastomotic leakage, (major) complications, length of stay, escalation of care and 90-day mortality. Data were analyzed using multivariate multilevel models. Results In total, 4733 patients were included in this study (TMIE:1472, hybrid:1364 and open:1897). Patients undergoing TMIE had lower incidence of pneumonia compared to hybrid (10.9% vs 16.3%, Odds Ratio (OR):0.56, 95%CI: 0.40–0.80) and open esophagectomy (10.9% vs 17.4%, OR:0.60, 95%CI: 0.42–0.84) and had shorter length of stay (median 10 days (IQR 8–16)) compared to hybrid (14 (11–19), p = 0.041) and open esophagectomy (11 (9–16), p = 0.027). Patients undergoing TMIE had higher rate of anastomotic leakage compared to hybrid (15.1% vs 10.7%, OR:1.47, 95%CI: 1.01–2.13) and open esophagectomy (7.3%, OR:1.73, 95%CI: 1.26–2.38). No differences were reported between hybrid and open esophagectomy. Conclusion Compared to hybrid and open Ivor Lewis esophagectomy, TMIE resulted in a lower pneumonia rate, a shorter hospital length of stay but a higher anastomotic leakage rate. The impact of these individual complications on survival and long-term quality of life should be further investigated.

Background: Intrathoracic esophagogastrostomy plays an important role in minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for cancer. Intrathoracic anastomosis with robot-assisted Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy (RAILE) includes hand-sewn and circular stapler methods, which remain technically challenging. In this study, we modified the techniques for intrathoracic anastomosis at RAILE, in order to simplify the complex procedures. Methods: “Side-insertion” technique was used for anvil placement and purse string suture for intrathoracic anastomosis at RAILE. Medical records for consecutive patients who had undergone robot-assisted minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for cancer between January 2015 and June 2018 were analyzed. Results: A total of consecutive 31 patients were enrolled. There was no conversion to open thoracotomy in this cohort. Mean operation duration in the robotic group was 387.4 ± 68.2 min. Median estimated blood loss was 110 mL (range 50–400 mL). Two patients (6.5%) had postoperative anastomotic leak. No postoperative reoperation was needed and there were no mortality. Six patients (19.4%) had anastomotic stricture and 2 patients of them needed endoscopic dilation. Conclusion: RAILE is safe and feasible. Our modified procedure highlighting the “side-insertion” method may simplify the process of intrathoracic anvil placement and purse string suture for anastomosis at RAILE.
