Abstract

Introduction

Esophageal cancer is a complex disease that is typically discovered at a late stage and is associated with a poor overall survival rate.

Discussion

Regardless of surgical approach, esophagectomy carries a significant morbidity and mortality. The surgeon should choose the surgical approach based on her comfort level, training and experience. Further investigation is required to evaluate the translatability of minimally invasive esophagectomy on a large scale.
