Abstract
|
|
|
|
The postoperative respiratory complications such as pneumonia and ARDS, are poor prognostic factors after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer. To avoid these complications, there have been attempts to use minimally invasive approach. Recently introduced daVinciTM S surgical system is used in esophagectomy because of its advantages of minimal invasiveness, clear 3-dimensional imaging and precise handling of robotic arms. We report a 83-year-old esophageal cancer patient who underwent daVinciTMS robot-assisted esophagectomy, laparoscopic stomach mobilization followed by cervical esophagogastrostomy.
