Minimally invasive techniques for transthoracic oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer: systematic review and network meta‐analysis

摘要

Oesophagectomy is a demanding operation that can be performed by different approaches including open surgery or a combination of minimal access techniques. This systematic review and network meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of open, minimally invasive and robotic oesophagectomy techniques for oesophageal cancer.
