Article Abstract
Background And Purpose: This meta-analysis assesses the surgical outcomes between robot-assisted minimally-invasive McKeown esophagectomy and conventional one.
Method: This meta-analysis searched the Web of Science, PUBMED, and EMBASE from the database's inception to January 2022. Altogether, 1073 records were identified in the literature search. Studies that evaluated the outcomes between robot-assisted minimally-invasive McKeown esophagectomy and conventional one among postoperative patients with oesophageal neoplasms were included. The assessed outcomes involved complications and clinical outcomes. In addition, heterogeneity was analyzed, and evidence quality was evaluated.
Result: Evidence indicated that RAMIE (minimally-invasive esophagectomy assisted with robot) decreased incidences of lung complications and hospital stay as well as increased harvested lymph nodes.
Conclusions: There was currently little evidence from randomized studies depicting that robot surgery manifested a clear overall advantage, but there was growing evidence regarding the clinical benefits of robot-assisted minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy over conventional one.

Comparative evaluation of transmediastinal and minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal cancer: perioperative and oncologic outcomes.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma remains a major health burden in China, where surgical resection is the mainstay of curative therapy. The conventional minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy (MIE-McKeown), although oncologically effective, entails transthoracic access and single-lung ventilation, often resulting in higher postoperative morbidity. Thoraco-laparoscopic transmediastinal esophagectomy has emerged as a novel alternative that may mitigate these risks while preserving oncologic integrity.

Background: In McKeown esophagectomy for cancer, esophageal reconstruction through the retrosternal route has many benefits; however, there are some concerns with this procedure. The application of laparoscopy combined with dissection behind the sternothyroid, sternohyoid muscles to create retrosternal tunnel is a promising technique.
Methods: A retrospective study comparing patients undergoing esophageal reconstruction through retrosternal (RS group) and posterior mediastinal (PM group) routes was conducted at the Digestive Surgery Department, Cho Ray Hospital, Vietnam, from January 2016 to December 2023.

Background: Anastomotic leakage is one of the most severe complications after esophageal cancer surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of preoperative inflammatory status on anastomotic leakage after esophageal cancer surgery and to construct a model for predicting anastomotic leakage after esophageal cancer surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1106 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent surgical treatment between September 2018 and December 2022.

Objectives: Indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons identify the blood perfusion distribution of the gastric conduit. The aim of our study is to utilize ICG fluorescence for quantitative assessment of blood perfusion at the anastomotic site to minimize postoperative anastomotic leakage.
Methods: Patients who underwent McKeown esophagectomy with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma between August 1, 2019, and July 31, 2021, were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to two groups.
