Abstract
Minimally invasive esophagectomy is an accepted approach to treating esophageal malignancy and is associated with excellent postoperative outcomes. Creation of the intrathoracic anastomosis with a minimally invasive approach remains one of the most critical and challenging steps of the operation. There is currently no consensus regarding the optimal technique for the esophagogastric anastomosis. Here we aimed to review the most commonly used esophagogastric anastomotic techniques for minimally invasive Ivor Lewis operations.
