Abstract
Robotic minimally invasive esophagectomy can be safely performed by adhering to key technical principles. Careful development of the gastric conduit with attention to blood supply and conduit orientation is critical. During thoracic dissection, capnothorax can distort the proximity of key mediastinal structures. In particular, care must be taken to avoid damage to the left mainstem bronchus during subcarinal nodal dissection. Robotic approach allows for an oncologically sound procedure and early mobilization of patients postoperatively, thus optimizing short and long-term outcomes.
