Thoracoscopic Radical Oesophagectomy for Cancer

15.1 Introduction

Three-field lymphadenectomy has been performed routinely since mid-1980s in Japan [1], but the extent of lymph node dissection is still in argument, such as the extended, the total mediastinal, or the three field [2].
However, the precision of the dissection has not been discussed because of difficulty in scientific evaluation. The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) lymph nodes and tracheobronchial lymph nodes should be dissected pre­cisely, although dissection of these nodes requires sub­stantial effort for surgeons and is associated with the risk of post-operative complications, especially RLN palsy. The sensitivity for diagnosing the presence of metasta­sis in each lymph node station is low [3]; therefore, all the lymph nodes localized in the supracarinal stations should be resected and not only the nodes likely being metastasized, it is no excuse for omitting complete dissection of all sta­tions. Neoadjuvant therapy is widely administered in order to improve the survival.
The Japanese guideline recommended neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the patients with resectable tumour and nodal involvement, according to the result of JCOG9907 study [4]. Therefore, Japanese surgeons are privileged to perform oesophagectomy on treatment with or without pre­vious radiotherapy patients.
In this chapter, microanatomy, which is essential for precise dissection through thoracoscopy, will be showed in patients without mediastinal fibrosis caused by neoadjuvant

treatment, especially radiotherapy. As the left lateral posi­tion has been the preferred approach since introduction of thoracoscopic oesophagectomy in 1995 at our institute [5], the figures are obtained in the left lateral position (the upper and left is the ventral and cranial, respectively). So, in order to adapt the monitor images in the prone position, the fig­ures should be rotated 90° to the right.

15.2 Thoracoscopic Mediastinal Dissection

15.2.1 Surgical Anatomy of Mediastinum with Reference to the Oesophagus

15.2.1.1 Layer Structures and Principle
of Dissection in the Mediastinum
Figure 15.1 demonstrates the layer structure of the medi­astinum cranial to the aortic arch. The most outer structure under the mediastinal pleura is the neural branches. The sympathetic branches from the right trunk dominate over the left and encase the oesophagus and thoracic duct. Black heavy arrows indicate our dissecting layer for total mobili­zation in the upper mediastinum.
Figure 15.2 demonstrates the layer structure of the medi­astinum caudal to the pulmonary hilum. The most outer structure under the mediastinal pleura is the neural branches from the sympathetic trunks, and the right branches domi­nantly encase the oesophagus. Almost all structures divided during the mediastinal mobilization run transversally, except the oesophagus, vagal nerves, and thoracic duct. Therefore, mobilization should be done transversally or orthogonally to the aorta and tracheobronchus. Identifying structures under magnified view, the neural branches are divided without sealing to avoid abuse use of energy devices and unneces­sary tissue damage. Under magnified view, the epineurium of the recurrent and vagal nerve can be identified easily as shiny fine membrane with fine vessels running longitudinally

(Fig. 15.3). As no vessel penetrates the epineurium in the dissection field, exposing the epineurium is the ideal layer of dissection. Under the magnified view, the structure of lymph node becomes obvious. Histologically, the lymph node has only the afferent lymphatics on the convex capsule (Fig. 15.4), and, only at the hilum, receives the artery and the vasoacting unmyelinated nerve and gives off the vein and efferent lymphatic vessel (Fig. 15.5). These hilar structures fix the lymph nodes. Understanding of direction of the fixa­tion does facilitate nodal dissection (Figs. 15.6 and 15.7).

15.3 Description of the Surgical Technique (see Video 15.1)

15.3.1 Dissection of the Right Recurrent
Nodes
Firstly, the mediastinal pleura is incised along the right vagal nerve, the right subclavian artery, and ventral mar­gin of the vertebra. Dividing the tracheoesophageal artery,

view, the glossy appearance with the fine vessels running longitudi­nally is recognized. There is no vessel that penetrates the epineurium in the dissection field. Abbreviations: lrn: left recurrent nerve, st: stump of the branch
arising from the right subclavian artery and running on the right side of the oesophagus to the anterior aspect of the tra­chea, at the anterior edge of vertebra, the fatty tissue con­sisting of the recurrent nodes becomes mobile. Then, the

epineurium of vagal nerve is exposed, and the right recur­rent nerve is identified at its recurring point (just caudal to the right subclavian artery). The dissection along the recur­rent nerve is carried out by exposing its epineurium and dividing the oesophageal branches (commonly four or five are divided) up to the caudal border of the right lobe of the thyroid gland. The nodes present dorsal to the recurrent nerve. The recurrent nerve should be carefully differentiated
12315 Thoracoscopic Radical Oesophagectomy for Cancer
from the sympathetic nerve and from the cervical ganglion (Fig. 15.8). The sympathetic nerve runs along the right subclavian artery, through the arch of the recurrent nerve, and to the frontal aspect of the trachea, and forms V shape together with the vagal nerve in contrast to the recurrent nerve that forms a U shape. In some patients, the tracheoe­sophageal artery divides at proximal site of the subclavian artery, near the recurrent nerve (Fig. 15.8). In these patients, care should be taken not to injure the artery, so to avoid incurring palsy of the nerve (Videos 15.1–15.5).

15.3.2 Mobilization of the Dorsal Aspect of the Oesophagus

Cranial to the aortic arch, the dorsal aspect of the oesopha­gus is rather avascular and anatomically simple. However, there can be three planes of dissection according to the right sympathetic branches. When the thoracic duct is preserved, dissection should be performed along b1 in Fig. 15.1. For the total mediastinal mobilization along b2 in Fig. 15.1, the thoracic duct is excised and the branches of the left sym­pathetic trunk are cut, and then the left mediastinal pleura is exposed (Fig. 15.9). The azygos arch is mobilized and divided following double ligation. The ligated ends are retracted through the chest wall ventrally and dorsally to enhance mediastinal exposure. The pleura is then incised
