Step5 (continued)
Laparoscopic surgery
e anastomosis technique is slightly dierent. A typical side-to-side stapled anastomosis for jejunogastrostomy is performed. e linear stapler is inserted through two small incisions at the caudal end of the anastomosis. Aer stapling, the remaining defect is closed by manual suture. Side-to-side stapled jejunojejunostomy for reconstruction of the enteric passage is carried out in the same manner.

Three-Field Lymphadenectomy for Esophageal Cancer

Takashi Aikou
Introduction
Lymphatic drainage from the upper two-thirds of the thoracic esophagus occurs mainly toward the neck and upper mediastinum, although there is also some drainage to the nodes along the le gastric artery. In 1981, the rst reported study of three-eld lymphadenectomy in Japan noted that 10 of 36patients with esophagectomy had skip metastases to the neck or abdominal lymph nodes in the absence of associated intrathoracic spread. In this chapter, we focus on the lymph node dissection of the upper mediastinal and cervical regions.

Step 1
Exposure and lymphadenectomy of the right upper mediastinum
e arch of the azygos vein is resected, and the right bronchial artery is ligated and secured at its root to evaluate the tumor for its resectability. is procedure provides a good exposure of the upper and middle mediastinum. e brachiocephalic and right subclavian arteries are exposed in order to remove nodes followed by carefully ligating the branches of the inferior thyroid artery (arrow indicates the direction of lymphadenectomy) (
the nodes along the right recurrent laryngeal nerve and the right paratracheal

Step 2
Transection and resection of the esophagus and completion of lymph node clearance
Aer proximal transection of the esophagus at the level of the aortic arch, the nodes along the le recurrent laryngeal nerve (le paratracheal nodes) are removed. e middle mediastinal nodes, comprising the infra-aortic, infracarinal, and periesophageal nodes, are cleared in conjunction with the esophagus.
is exposes the main bronchus, the le pulmonary artery, branches of the vagus nerve, and the pericardium. Both pulmonary branches of both vagus nerves and the le bronchial artery originating from the descending aorta near the le pulmonary hilum are preserved. However, the esophageal branches of the vagus nerves are severed, and the thoracic duct is also ligated because it is removed together with the esophagus (

T-shaped neck incision
A T-shaped neck incision is made and the sternothyroid, sternohyoid, and sternomastoid muscles are divided at the clavicle head and the fascia of the omohyoid muscle is incised. Aer identica­tion of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, lymph nodes along this nerve (which are in continuity with the nodes previously dissected out in the superior mediastinum) are dissected. e inferior thyroid arteries are then ligated and divided. e para-esophageal nodes, including the nodes along the recurrent laryngeal nerve at the cervicothoracic junction, are classied as either cervical or upper mediastinal nodes, according to their position relative to the bifurcation of the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries (.

Cervical lymphadenectomy
e jugular vein, common carotid artery, and vagus nerve are subsequently identied and pre­served. On the lateral side, aer careful preservation of the spinal accessory nerve, lymph nodes situated lateral to the internal jugular vein are removed. e thyrocervical trunk and its branches and the phrenic nerve are then identied. In this procedure, the cervical nodes (internal jugular nodes below the level of the cricoid cartilage, supraclavicular nodes, and cervical paraesophageal nodes) are cleared bilaterally (arrow indicates the direction of lymphadenectomy) (

Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy

Jonathan D’Cunha, David D. Odell, Ryan M. Levy, James D. Luketich
Over the past decade, minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has become an accepted surgi­cal approach for esophageal malignancy as well as certain benign conditions. When performed at high-volume centers, MIE results in morbidity, mortality, and oncological outcomes similar to those of open esophagectomy while oering the advantages inherent to minimally invasive surgery. MIE techniques have evolved from the intial hybrid approaches of thoracoscopy com­bined with laparotomy to the present combination of laparoscopy and thoracoscopy for a totally minimally invasive esophagectomy. Whereas the totally minimally invasive approach is technically demanding and associated with a signicant operator learning curve, it is an excellent option for esophageal resection. In our experience, MIE is associated with a reduction in blood loss, de­creased respiratory complications, improved pain cotrol, and a decrease in hospital length of stay.
At present, minimally invasive approaches for esophagectomy include laparoscopic-transhi­atal, laparoscopic-thoracoscopic three-hole (McKeown), and laparoscopic-thoracoscopic Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. e choice between MIE approaches is largely based upon the preference of the surgeon. However, tumor location or other anatomical factors may inuence the choice of surgical approach. e anticipated morbidity of the operation also varies with the choice of surgi­cal approach. e creation of a cervical anastomosis has a higher incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Cervical anastomoses may also be more prone to anastomotic leak, stricture, and pharyngoesophageal swallowing dysfunction. By comparison, transthoracic approaches have a higher incidence of cardiopulmonary complications and potentially greater morbidity if an anas­tomotic leak occurs.
Our initial approach to MIE utilized a modied McKeown (three-hole) technique that proved to have equivalent oncological outcome and morbidity to the open technique. Owing to concerns regarding cervical dissection and anastomosis, our preferred approach is now a completely lapa­roscopic-thoracoscopic (Ivor Lewis) esophagectomy with abdominal (celiac, le gastric, splenic) and mediastinal (paraesophageal and subcarinal) lymphadenectomy. e minimally invasive Ivor Lewis approach works well for most distal esophageal cancers, gastroesophageal junction tumors with gastric cardia extension, and short-to-moderate length Barrett’s esophagus with high-grade dysplasia. In addition, when there is concern for the length of the gastric conduit, an intrathoracic anastomosis is preferable. In cases of primary gastric tumors with signicant lesser curve extension that involve the incisura, we prefer a total gastrectomy with roux-en-Y reconstruction. Total lapa­roscopic and thoracoscopic Ivor Lewis resections should not be performed for upper third or mid­esophageal cancers with signicant proximal extension owing to concern for adequate proximal resection margin. e following describes our current technique for laparoscopic-thoracoscopic Ivor Lewis minimally invasive esophagectomy.

Surgical Technique
Anesthetic Considerations
Anesthetic management during MIE poses specic challenges. Whereas all patients receive an ar­terial blood pressure monitoring line, central venous catheter placement is not routine. A double­lumen endotracheal tube is placed initially in anticipation of the thoracoscopic phase. In patients with midthoracic or upper thoracic tumors, a single-lumen endotracheal tube is initially placed for preoperative bronchoscopy to evaluate airway involvement.
Patients generally require signicant volume loading during the laparoscopic phase secondary
to the pneumoperitoneum and steep reverse Trendelenburg positioning. Given the high ow of CO2required, the patient can develop signicant hypercarbia and acidosis. e surgeon must also be mindful of vasopressors administered by the anesthesiologist because these agents directly af­fect the viability of the newly created gastric conduit. Simple measures can be undertaken to help correct these problems. Maneuvers to increase preload include lowering the insuation pressure, decreasing the degree of the reverse Trendelenburg position, and increasing volume loading. In addition to changes in the ventilator settings, hypercarbia can oen be corrected by reversing the pneumoperitoneum, allowing the patient time to compensate and clear the excess CO2. ere must be clear and ongoing communication throughout the procedure between the surgeon and the anesthesiologist.

Endoscopic Evaluation
e operation begins with a careful esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). e location of the tumor is conrmed along with precise measurements of the proximal and distal extent of the lesion. e surrounding esophagus is examined for evidence of Barrett changes proximal to the intended resection margin, with four-quadrant biopsies taken in areas of clinical concern. Care­ful endoscopic examination of the stomach is also imperative to assess its suitability for use as a conduit in esophageal reconstruction. Air insuation should be kept to a minimum during the examination to reduce the degree of small bowel distention which may signicantly decrease domain and heighten the diculty of laparoscopy.
