Abstract
Robotic surgery has provided an attractive minimally invasive option for esophagectomy. Benefits include magnified 3D visualization, a variety of instruments with 7 degrees of motion that simplify sewing and fine dissection, as well as autonomous control of the operation with the use of 3 robotic arms. We provide a detailed review of how we perform robotic esophagectomies that conclude in the chest. A video demonstrating the crucial steps is provided. Although 3-field robotic assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) is possible when needed, we will focus here on approaches with anastomosis in the chest.
