  • Title: Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic resection of esophageal leiomyoma.
    Author: Elli E, Espat NJ, Berger R, Jacobsen G, Knoblock L, Horgan S.
    Journal: Surg Endosc; 2004 Apr; 18(4):713-6. PubMed ID: 15026895.
    Abstract:
    Esophageal leiomyoma represents 70-80% of all benign esophageal tumors but only approximately 0.5% of all esophageal neoplasms; optimal surgical treatment consists of local resection. We present the first reported robotic-assisted thoracoscopic resection of two patients with esophageal leiomyoma using the daVinci Surgical System. Operative technique and technical considerations are presented.
