This video will show the steps of Laparoscopic esophago gastrectomy with colonic interposition.
The video includes the following steps:
-Laparoscopic mobilization of stomach and clearance of hepatic, left gastric and celiac nodes
-Laparoscopic mobilisation of the colon
-Thoracoscopic mobilisation of the esophagus with removal of mediastinal nodes
-Mini laparotomy to extract the specimen and prepare colonic conduit and completion of colo-gastric anastomosis
