2019

Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to describe postoperative complications and short-term oncologic outcomes for RAMIE4 with intrathoracic anastomosis for esophageal cancer within our case series of 100 consecutive patients. Background & Methods Robot assisted minimally-invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) with intrathoracic anastomosis is gaining popularity as a treatment for esophageal cancer. In this study, we present the results of 100 RAMIE procedures using the da Vinci Xi robotic system (RAMIE4). The aim of this study was to describe postoperative complications and short-term oncologic outcomes for RAMIE4 within our case series of 100 consecutive patients. Between January 2017 and F…
