Hybrid Ivor Lewis esophagectomy with robotic assisted gastric mobilization and thoracoscopic esophageal dissection and anastomosis
Abstract
Minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (ILE) is one of the most commonly adopted technique which can be performed a variety of ways for the anastomosis. We developed a hybrid Ivor Lewis esophagectomy with robotic system and thoracoscopy.
