DDES™ Flexible Single Incision Operating Platform Facilitates an Extended Thoracic Lymphadenectomy via a Trans-hiatal Approach.
Objective:Emphasis on extended lymph node dissection during esophagectomy is increasing. Many propose that the best technique to achieve this goal is to approach the mediastinal portion of the operation trans-thoracically. However, this may increase overall surgical morbidity compared to a purely transhiatal technique. Totally laparoscopic transhiatal esophagectomies have been performed but while better than open,… Continue Reading
