Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Thoracoscopic dissection of the esophagus and laparoscopic dissection of the stomach with cervical esophagogastric anastomosis is a safe method for resection of esophageal and gastroesophageal junction malignancy. SETTING: The setting was at University Tertiary Care Center. PATIENTS: Subjects are patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal junction malignancy undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy with cervical esophagogastric anastomosis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Technique of a 6-cm side-to-side stapled cervical esophagogastric anastomosis is described. RESULTS: The technique of minimally invasive esophagectomy with side-to-side stapled cervical esophagogastric anastomosis is described. CONCLUSIONS: Thoracoscopic dissection of the esophagus, laparoscopic dissection of the stomach, and a side-to-side stapled cervical esophagogastric anastomosis is safe, oncologically appropriate, and provides excellent functional results.
