A Comparison Between Ivor-Lewis and McKeown Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Esophageal Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: MIE Ivor- Lewis
Procedure: MIE McKeown
Registration Number
NCT04217239
Lead Sponsor
The Second Hospital of Shandong University
Brief Summary

Surgery is still the main treatment for esophageal cancer, however, the complication and mortality rate of open esophagectomy is high. As a result, the thoracoscopic- laparoscopic minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) was developed. The MIE mainly comprised two surgical approaches:

MIE McKeown approach (cervical anastomosis) and MIE Ivor-Lewis approach (intrathoracicanastomosis). The MIE with intrathoracic anastomosis (Ivor-Lewis) is increasingly used for the treatment of mid and lower esophageal cancers. Our study is trying to compare the safety, feasibility, and short-term and long- term outcomes between MIE Ivor-Lewis approach and MIE McKeown approach for the treatment of lower thoracic esophageal cancer and esophageal- gastric junction.
