Background Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is an emerging technology that
might help decreasing anastomotic leakage (AL) rates. The aim of this study was to …

Background A transthoracic esophagectomy is associated with high rates of morbidity.
Minimally invasive esophagectomy has emerged to decrease such morbidity. The aim of this …

Background Hybrid and minimally invasive approaches have emerged as less invasive
alternatives to open Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. The aim of this study was to compare …

Background Currently, little is known regarding the optimal technique for the abdominal
phase of RAMIE. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of robot-assisted …

Purpose Robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has become one
standard approach for the operative treatment of esophageal tumors at specialized centers …

Background Evidence comparing conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (CMIE)
via laparoscopy and thoracoscopy with robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy …

Background Evidence on the added value of robotic-assistance in the abdominal phase
during esophagectomy is scarce. In 2003, our center implemented the robotic thoracic …

Background: Three anastomotic techniques are mostly used to create an esophagogastric
anastomosis in a transthoracic esophagectomy: hand-sewn (HS), side-to-side linear-stapled …

Robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) represents an established
approach for the treatment of esophageal cancer. Aim of this study is to evaluate the …

This retrospective analysis aimed to assess and compare the short-term perioperative
outcomes and morbidity of hybrid and full-Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive …
