Abstract
Various esophageal procedures are now feasible through a few holes in the thoracic or abdominal wall, or through the working channel of an endoluminal endoscope1 rather than through a large parietal incision. This is the case for antireflux fundoplication2,3, myotomies4, enucleation of a benign tumor5, clippage of the thoracic duct6, and so on ... The esophagus itself can be removed by so-called minimally invasive approaches that are the right thoracoscopy7–14, the transcervical mediastinoscopy combined with conventional transhiatal dissection by laparotomy15–17, and the laparoscopic transhiatal esophagogastric mobilization in combination with conventional cervicotomy for esophageal extraction and esophagogastric anastomosisl8–23. All those new surgical modalities are not only very attractive because they obviously reduce the parietal damage related to the classic incisions but they constitute also a very appealing technical challenge for the surgeon.
