Application of single-port laparoscopic retrograde gastric mobilization during McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.

Background: As a novel alternative to the conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) to treat esophageal cancer, single-port laparoscopic retrograde three-step gastric mobilization (SLRM) for esophageal reconstruction during MIE to treat esophageal cancer was attempted in our department. The aim of the present study was to explore the preliminary clinical outcomes and feasibility of this innovative surgery.

Methods: From March 2020 to November 2021, patients undergoing SLRM combined with four-port thoracoscopic McKeown esophagectomy for their esophageal cancers were reviewed.

Utility of single-port laparoscopic retrograde gastric mobilization during McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal cancer: a 2-year experience with 120 cases in a single institution.

Background: As a novel alternative to the conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE), more minimally invasive single-port laparoscopic retrograde 3-step gastric mobilization (SLRM) for esophageal reconstruction during MIE to treat esophageal cancer was attempted by our department. This study explored the preliminary clinical outcomes and feasibility of this innovative surgery.

Methods: The data of 120 patients who had undergone SLRM combined with 4-port thoracoscopic McKeown esophagectomy for their esophageal cancers from March 2020 to November 2021 were reviewed.

Visual specific luminescent probing of hybrid G-quadruplex DNA by a ruthenium polypyridyl complex.

A novel ruthenium(II) complex with specific luminescent selectivity towards hybrid G-quadruplex DNA was developed that can easily be distinguished by the naked eye without further treatment.
