RESUMO
Although open-chest surgery is the mainstay treatment for esophageal cancer, the understanding of the context of the surgery differs in Japan and the rest of the world. Three-field lymph node dissection has been unique to Japan, although some reports on its benefits are emerging elsewhere. In addition to three-field lymph node dissection, various efforts are made during surgical procedures to reduce complications at high-volume Japanese healthcare institutions.
