Abstract
Background Patients undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) may benefit from lower respiratory complications and total morbidity compared with those undergoing open transthoracic esophagectomy (OTE) according to a recent meta-analysis. Local recurrence rates after MIE need to be determined for an assessment of complete resection. The aim of this study was to investigate whether MIE is effective for submucosal (T1b) esophageal cancer in terms of survival and morbidity.
