Article Synopsis
- * Minimally invasive techniques, including robotic surgery, are increasingly used for CP, yet it's unclear if robotic methods provide benefits over traditional techniques.
- * Current research on robotic CP is limited mostly to small case studies, and further investigation is needed to determine the best minimally invasive approach for this complex procedure.
Background: The aim of the present study is to compare outcomes of the robotic hand-sewn, linear- and circular-stapled techniques performed to create an intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis in patients who underwent Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy.
Methods: Patients who underwent a planned Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy were retrospectively analysed from prospectively maintained databases. Only patients who underwent a robotic thoracic approach with the creation of an intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis were included in the study.
Background: The adoption of robotic surgery for esophageal cancer has been expanding rapidly over the recent years. In the setting of two-field esophagectomy, different techniques exist for intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis, although the superiority of one over another has not been clearly demonstrated. Potential benefits in terms of anastomotic leakage and stenosis have been reported in association with a linear-stapled anastomosis as compared to the more widespread techniques of circular mechanical and hand-sewn reconstructions, however, there is still limited reported evidence on its application to robotic surgery.

Methods: This was a single center, retrospective chart review of patients admitted to a pediatric or cardiac intensive care unit within a large free-standing quaternary care pediatric hospital who received continuous propofol for non-procedural continuous sedation for at least 6 hours between 2014 and 2019. Propofol exposure (dose and duration), laboratory data, and hemodynamic outcomes of patients were evaluated.
