Minimally invasive approaches to esophageal leiomyoma, including thoracoscopic and laparoscopic enucleation, have been shown to have better postoperative recovery compared with thoracotomy approach. We present a case of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic enucleation of esophageal leiomyoma using the da Vinci(®) S system.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and esophageal motility of patients with gastric cardia submucosal tumors (SMTs) and the associated changes after endoscopic resection based on high-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM).
Methods: From our electronic database, we identified patients who underwent pre-operative evaluation of gastric cardia SMTs between 2015 and 2023. All patients completed standardized symptom questionnaires and underwent endoscopic ultrasonography and HRIM.

Introduction: Esophageal leiomyoma is the most common benign submucosal mesenchymal tumor of the esophagus, typically asymptomatic but can cause symptoms such as dysphagia, chest pain, or regurgitation when large. Diagnosis is often incidental, confirmed by imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), with surgical enucleation being the standard treatment.
Presentation Of Case: A 28-year-old male presented with a one-year history of persistent epigastric discomfort and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms unresponsive to proton pump inhibitors.
