  • Title: Minimally invasive esophagectomy for malignant and premalignant diseases of the esophagus.
    Author: Maloney JD, Weigel TL.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 2008 Oct; 88(5):979-90, vi. PubMed ID: 18790149.
    Abstract:
    Minimally invasive approaches increasingly are used to treat esophageal cancer and Barrett's esophagitis with high-grade dysplasia. The goals of a minimally invasive esophageal resection are to provide sound oncologic therapy while minimizing morbidity. This article describes the technique the authors use for laparoscopic-thoracoscopic esophagectomy. Comparison data are presented for alternative endoscopic therapy primarily used in candidates not suitable for surgery.
