Abstract

With the rapid development of DaVinci robot technology worldwide, it has been applied as a minimally invasive approach for esophagectomy in recent years. Despite the broad prospects of this type of surgery, it also brought greater challenge to thoracic surgeons. Until now, there are few reports on the DaVinci robotic system for esophagectomy , even fewer on its learning curve. The aim of this study was to summarize the research reports and explore the characteristics of learning curve for robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy(RAMIE), which can be applied to guide the application of robotic surgery. Key words: Esophageal cancer; Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy; Learning curve
