Abstract

The authors review the development and steps of the robotic-assisted minimally invasive transhiatal esophagectomy. Key goals of the robot-assisted approach have been to address some of the concerns raised about the technical challenges with the traditional open transhiatal esophagectomy while keeping most of the steps consistent with the open approach.

Keywords: Robotic assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy; Robotic surgery; Transhiatal esophagectomy.
