During the period from April 2012 to December 2014 54 patients aged 29-76 years, 36 (66.6%) males and 18 (33.4%) females, with esophageal cancer underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy as final phase of treatment. Squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed in 50 patients and adenocarcinoma identified in 4 patients. The disease was staged as follows: IA--5 (9.3%) patients, IB--11 (20.4%) patients, IIA-- (16,.%) cases, III -- (3,.%) cases, IIII --8 (33,.%), IIII -- (14,8%), III -- (1,.%). 37 (68,.%) patients had surgery after induction chemoradiation therapy. Of 54 surgical interventions there were 20 hybrid and 34 minimally invasive operations. 19 (35,.%) patients developed complications, postoperative mortality was 2 (3,.)%. Minimally invasive esophagectomy meets basic oncological principles and leads to tolerable short-term results. |
