Postoperative chylothorax is a serious complication after oesophagectomy. Real-time identification of the thoracic duct (TD) could prevent injury or facilitate prompt management when it occurs. Intraoperative TD lymphography with indocyanine green (ICG) is a novel technique that may help prevent chyle leaks following thoracic surgery.

Esophagectomy and lymphadenectomy for esophageal cancer carry an inherent risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury. Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) may help prevent RLN damage, though evidence on its effectiveness is still limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of IONM during minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for esophageal cancer.

Background: Oesophagectomy for surgical management of oesophageal carcinoma has previously been performed via an open approach (OE), with a change in recent years to a minimally invasive technique (MIO). We performed a retrospective study to compare the rates of post-operative complications between OE and MIO patients at our institution. Secondary outcomes included nodal yield and ICU LOS.

Background: Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) is an effective but technically demanding procedure. The learning curve of RAMIE has been studied to help guide training and to ensure its safe implementation.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the first 83 consecutive patients with thoracic esophageal cancer who underwent robot-assisted minimally invasive Mckeown esophagectomy (RAMIE-MK) between May 2021 and August 2023, all performed by a single surgeon.

Background: While severe postoperative complications (SPCs) impact cancer prognosis, their effect on locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients with varying immunonutritional statuses after minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is unclear.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 442 patients with locally advanced ESCC who underwent MIE, investigating the relationship between SPCs and survival based on preoperative immunonutritional status, determined by the prognostic nutritional index (PNI). Nomograms were developed for patients with preserved immunonutritional status using Cox regression, and their performance was assessed.
