Abstract
Minimally invasive esophagectomy is performed for surgically resectable esophageal cancer, cases where there are high-grade dysplasia of the esophagus and massive esophageal dilatation due to benign disease (e.g., end-stage achalasia, Chagas’ disease). This chapter describes indications, essential steps, variations, and complications of this procedure. It provides a detailed template operative note for the procedure.
