Background It remains unknown how much institutional medical structure and process of implementation of clinical practice guidelines for esophageal cancers can improve quality of surgical outcome in Japan. Methods A web-based questionnaire survey was performed for departments registered in the National Clinical Database in Japan from October 2014 to January 2015. Quality indicators (QIs) including...
Background We have routinely performed three-dimensional computed tomography (3-D CT) prior to video-assisted transmediastinal esophagectomy to evaluate the small arteries in the mediastinal operative field. This evaluation would be helpful in performing mediastinoscopic esophagectomy. Methods Thirty-one patients who underwent transmediastinal esophagectomy with preoperative evaluations by 3-D CT...
Background The aim of this retrospective study was to assess postoperative quality of life (QOL) after robot-assisted radical transmediastinal esophagectomy, defined as a nontransthoracic esophagectomy with radical mediastinal lymphadenectomy combining a robotic transhiatal approach and a video-assisted cervical approach. The results were compared to those of transthoracic esophagectomy. Methods...
Background
Robotic surgical systems are potentially applicable to transcervical mediastinal lymph dissection for esophageal malignancy.
Methods
Robot‐assisted surgery was performed on a male fresh‐frozen human cadaver. Devices for single‐port laparoscopic surgery were deployed via one small incision in the left clavicular area. The task for the robot‐assisted surgery was the upper mediastinal dissection...
Purpose To validate the safety and efficacy of landiolol, a beta1-selective blocker, as a primary care option for postoperative tachycardia after transthoracic esophagectomy. Methods The subjects were 74 consecutive patients who underwent esophagectomy between May 2008 and December 2009. Patients who developed tachycardia with a heart rate >120 bpm for >5 min were defined as candidates for...
