ABSTRACT
Blunt transhiatal esophagectomy is largely performed in selected cases of esophageal cancer following the experience of Mark Orringer. We have recently performed five consecutive video-laparoscopy-assisted transhiatal esophagectomies in order to help the esophageal dissection and to avoid injuries to mediastinal structures. In our experience a routine use of laparoscopic assistance during transhiatal esophageal dissection improves the safety of this technique and lowers postoperative complications. The results recently reported from neoadjuvant treatments (radio-chemotherapy) emphasize the role of transhiatal esophagectomy for cancer.
