食管切除术被认为是食管癌根治性治疗的基石。在过去的几十年里，包括机器人辅助方法在内的微创技术已经变得流行。微创手术的目的是减少手术创伤，从而更快地恢复，减少并发症，提高术后生活质量。其次，更精确的解剖可能会导致更好的肿瘤结局。因此，微创食管切除术现在被许多人视为标准手术方法。然而，支持这一观点的证据有限。这篇叙述性综述总结了最近关于微创食管切除术的前瞻性设计研究。
Esophagectomy is considered the cornerstone of the radical treatment of esophageal cancer. In the past decades, minimally invasive techniques including robot-assisted approaches have become popular. The aim of minimally invasive surgery is to reduce the surgical trauma, resulting in faster recovery, reduction in complications, and better quality of life after surgery. Secondly, a more precise dissection may lead to better oncological outcomes. As such, minimally invasive esophagectomy is now seen by many as the standard surgical approach. However, evidence supporting this viewpoint is limited. This narrative review summarizes recent prospectively designed studies on minimally invasive esophagectomy.
