Abstract OBJECTIVES With the gradual acceptance of robotic-assisted surgery to treat oesophageal cancer and the application of a single-port approach in several abdominal procedures, we adopted a single-port technique in robotic-assisted minimally invasive oesophagectomy during the abdominal phase for gastric mobilization and abdominal lymph node dissection. METHODS Robotic-assisted oesophagectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection in the chest were followed by robotic-assisted gastric mobilization and conduit creation with abdominal lymph node dissection, which were performed via a periumbilicus single incision. The oesophagogastrostomy was accomplished either in the chest (Ivor Lewis procedure) or neck (McKeown procedure) depending on the status of the proximal resection margin. RESULTS The procedure was successfully performed on 11 patients with oesophageal cancer from January 2017 to December 2018 in our institute. No surgical or in-hospital deaths occurred, though we had one case each of anastomotic leakage, pneumonia and hiatal hernia (9%). CONCLUSIONS Robotic single-incision gastric mobilization for minimally invasive oesophagectomy for treating oesophageal cancer seems feasible. Its value in terms of perioperative outcome and long-term survival results awaits future evaluation.

Abstract Description As esophageal cancer reveals aggressive characteristics of lymph node metastasis, esophagectomy with extensive lymph node dissection is required as the optimal management in most cases. In spite of improvements in the survival rate, however, the procedure is still associated with significant postoperative morbidity and mortality. As minimally invasive surgery reduces both pain and the systemic inflammatory response, minimally invasive esophagectomy has been developed in an obvious attempt to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. In addition, the magnified and clear views by thoracoscopy accelerate recognition for the fine and minute surgical anatomy of the mediastinum. Thoracoscopic mobilization of the esophagus and mediastinal lymph node dissection as part of a three-stage procedure was reported in the early 1990s. Recently, thoracoscopic esophageal mobilization and mediastinal dissection in the prone position has been developed. Enhanced visualization and improved ergonomics for surgeons in the prone position provide higher-quality mobilization and lymphadenectomy and contribute to enhancement of the learning curve. Especially, it is favorable during the procedures of upper mediastinal lymph node dissection which are the most complicated ones. During this lymph node dissection, the concept of lymphatic flow is very important. Now, it takes 3 hours and 15 minutes for the thoracic procedure, but the blood loss is less than 100 ml in our recent series. In the presentation, the surgical procedures of thoracoscopic or robotically-assisted esophagectomy in the prone position for esophageal cancer will be demonstrated and our surgical results of over 300 cases will be shown.
