Robotic Side-to-Side and End-to-Side Stapled Esophagogastric Anastomosis of Ivor Lewis Esophagectomy for Cancer

摘要

Background Both linear-stapled side-to-side esophagogastric anastomosis (LSEA) and circular-stapled end-to-side esophagogastric anastomosis (CEEA) are frequently used following esophagectomy. The aims of the present study were to review our experience of robotic intrathoracic alimentary tract reconstruction and to compare the short-term surgical outcomes of LSEA and CEEA in robotic Ivor Lewis esophagectomy.
