ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Robot-assisted oesophagectomy (RAE) and thoracolaparoscopic oesophagectomy (TLE) are surgical techniques for the treatment of oesophageal cancer. This study aimed to compare the perioperative and mid-term outcomes of RAE versus TLE for patients with locally advanced oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT).METHODS:
Consecutive patients receiving nCRT plus RAE or TLE were retrospectively included in this single-institution study from January 2016 to January 2021. Perioperative outcomes were compared and survival analysis was performed.RESULTS:
This study enrolled 251 patients, 80 (31.9%) in RAE and 171 (68.1%) in TLE. The conversion rate was equivalent in RAE versus TLE (3.8% vs 2.9%, P = 1). Median operative time in RAE was significantly shorter than that in TLE (254 vs 289 min, P < 0.001). Compared to TLE, RAE harvested more lymph nodes along the recurrent laryngeal nerve [4 (3-6) vs 3 (1-5), P < 0.001]. Overall complications were similar in RAE compared to TLE (38.8% vs 38.0%, P = 0.911). No statistically significant difference in disease-free survival (log-rank P = 0.721) or overall survival (log-rank P = 0.325) was found between groups.CONCLUSIONS:
Compared to TLE, RAE could achieve shorter operative duration and better lymph nodes dissection along the bilateral RLN for locally advanced ESCC after nCRT, with comparable short-term outcomes. A long-term survival remains to be verified.Palavras-chave
