Implication

This analysis finds acceptable survival rates after minimally invasive esophagectomy in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting surgical complications.

Key Points

Initial experiences of minimally invasive esophagectomy show 3-year overall survival rates of 88%, 66%, and 69% for stages pI, pII, and pIII.
Among 72 patients treated, 18.1% faced complications classified as Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher, showing the need for improved surgical techniques.
Patients without neoadjuvant CCRT achieved 3-year overall survival rates of 100%, 65%, and 76% for stages pI, pII, and pIII, emphasizing the impact of treatment strategy.
Findings indicate acceptable outcomes for gastrointestinal surgeons performing minimally invasive esophagectomies, but complications like anastomotic leakage remain a concern.
