Chapter  • Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy
Management of Common Complications
Early
Leak: ensure adequate drainage, operative repositioning of drains if necessary, nutritional
-
support.
Conduit necrosis: reoperate to drain infection and revise anastomosis with resection of dead
-
tissue; diversion may be indicated depending on the clinical picture.
Pleural space infection: early thoracoscopic drainage.
-
Chylothorax: medical management if low-volume; thoracoscopic duct ligation and/or
-
image-guided duct embolization if it fails to resolve conservatively.
Pneumonia: aggressive pulmonary toilet for prevention; bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar
-
lavage for culture-directed antimicrobial therapy.
Late
Stricture: serial endoscopic dilation

Key Points
Minimally invasive esophagectomy has become an established approach for the treatment of
-
esophageal carcinoma.
In our retrospective series of more than 1000patients who underwent MIE, overall morbid-
-
ity, mortality, lymph node yield, and oncological outcomes were similar to or better than
most published series of open esophagectomy.
Our favored approach is a laparoscopic-thoracoscopic Ivor Lewis MIE whenever oncologi-
-
cally appropriate.
e Ivor Lewis approach for MIE signicantly lowers the incidence of recurrent nerve
-
injury compared with approaches requiring a cervical anastomosis.
In the rst randomized controlled trial of MIE versus open esophagectomy, MIE was associ-
-
ated with a shorter hospital stay, fewer pulmonary infections, less vocal cord paralysis, and
better short-term quality of life compared with open esophagectomy. Oncological principles
of resection and lymph node retrieval were not compromised using the minimally invasive
approach.

Treatment of Zenker Diverticulum

Yogesh Vashist, Stefan Groth, Uwe Seitz
Endoscopic Approach
e Zenker diverticulum (pharyngoesophageal diverticulum) arises from the triangle of mucosa located between the inferior pharyngeal constrictors and the cricopharyngeal muscle (Killian tri­angle). is type of diverticula is a false diverticulum and more common than true esophageal diver­ticula. e treatment options range from various endoscopic techniques to open surgical resection.
Treatment of Zenker diverticulum with a exible endoscope provides an alternative to surgery or the intraluminal approach with a rigid endoscope (Weerda laryngoscope). e “septum” between the diverticulum and the esophagus is transected, thereby creating a common cavity of esophageal lu­men and diverticulum, allowing easier food passage. It is not always necessary to divide the complete septum between the esophagus and the diverticulum because patients already have a good relief of symptoms aer incision of one third to one half of the septum. at is why the aim of the endoscopic treatment is the relief of symptoms and not necessarily the complete separation of the septum.

Procedure
Intubation of the esophagus is oen dicult in patients with a Zenker diverticulum. A pediatric endoscope can be used to facilitate intubation. If the diverticulum is lled with food, cleaning by using a large-channel endoscope should be rst performed to avoid aspiration.
Aer intubating the esophagus, a Savary-Guillard wire is placed in the antrum, the endoscope is withdrawn, and a nasogastric tube is placed over the wire through the mouth.
e nasogastric tube indicates the entrance into the esophagus. is tube provides a better ana­tomical overview and simultaneously protects the esophageal wall during treatment (.
Alternatively a exible diverticuloscope (Cook Endoscopy, Winston Salem, NC) can be introduced via the endoscope. It is designed as an overtube on the basis of the “Weerda” la­ryngoscope from otolaryngology. It has a double duckbill extremity, one to be placed in the esophagus and one for the diverticulum leaving the septum in the middle of the two bills. is device allows an excellent anatomical overview. Sometimes it can be quite challenging to get the device in position.
Once the endoscope is in position, there are dierent options on how to transect the septum. e most common ones are the treatment with argon-plasma coagulation and with a needle knife.

Argon-plasma coagulation of the septum
e septum is treated with argon-plasma coagulation. e advantage of this method over con­ventional diathermy is the spray-like application. Bleeding from smaller vessels is avoided. In one session 1 cm of the septum is coagulated. e session is repeated aer 4weeks if required (.

Needle knife incision
e beginning and the end of a session of needle knife incision are shown (. Fig. 16.3). Fibers of the cricopharyngeal muscle are visualized. In our experience the risk of bleeding is slightly higher using the needle knife than using argon-plasma coagulation, particularly in the rst session. erefore fewer treatment sessions (on average, one) are needed for a good relief of symptoms. To avoid perforation on the distal end of the septum, one to two clips can be placed at the ground (at the distal end of the area treated).

Tricks of the Senior Surgeon
Control bleeding with hemoclips and injection of diluted epinephrine (1:20,000) or with a hot
-
biopsy forceps.
Pay attention to keep the incision of the septum central to avoid bleeding.
-
Use CO2insuation for the endoscope.
-
Open Approach
Most Zenker diverticula are located le dorsolateral. is is due to the vertebra, which
-
represents the posterior rigid plane; hence the Zenker diverticulum juts out to the le and follows a vertical growth parallel to the esophagus.
Zenker diverticula are classied according to Brombart, Morton and Bartley and Lahey.
-
Lahey classication dierentiates between three stages:
-
StageI: no symptoms, local mild inammation
-
StageII: dysphagia and regurgitation
-
StageIII: esophageal obstruction, dysphagia, and regurgitation.
-
Progress over time. Treatment is recommended for patients who have moderate to severe
-
symptoms/complications (pneumonia or aspiration).

Procedure
Access
e le arm should be adjacent to the patient’s body and the patient placed in a supine position with the head rotated to the right.
Approach
e approach to the diverticulum for surgical therapy comes through a le cervical incision (most Zenker diverticula present on this side) at the level of the cricoid cartilage on the anterior aspect of the sternocleidomastoid muscle just above the clavicle. e anatomical overview of the access to the cervical esophagus is given in
. Fig. 16.5.

. Fig.16.5
Dissection
Dissection is performed between the medial aspect of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, which is pulled laterally, and the strap muscles by retracting the carotid sheath laterally and preserving the recurrent laryngeal nerve. e omohyoid muscle may be either retracted or transected. e thyroid gland is mobilized and vessels are dissected (
. Fig. 16.6).

Mobilization of the esophagus and the diverticulum
e esophagus is mobilized from the prevertebral fascia, and the diverticulum is evident posterior to the esophagus. Large diverticula may extend into the mediastinum, but gentle traction and blunt dissection are sucient to mobilize even the largest diverticula. . Figure 16.7 shows the anatomy of the cervical diverticulum.

Preparation of the diverticulum
e neck of the diverticulum is dissected. Gentle traction on the diverticulum exposes the bers of the cricopharyngeus muscle. Oral insuation of air may help to nd the diverticulum.
Myotomy
e cricopharyngeus muscles are divided and bluntly dissected from the mucosa. Myotomy of the pars transversa and of the upper esophagus is performed and is essential.
Aer myotomy the diverticulum can be addressed dierently, depending on the size of the diverticulum. Small diverticula measuring up to 2 cm virtually disappear aer the myotomy is completed and may be le alone or xed cranially with the apex. ey may be inverted and su­tured to the prevertebral fascia, which prevents food retention without necessitating creation of a staple line or suture line that is at risk for stula formation. Larger diverticula are resected with a linear stapler parallel to the esophageal lumen, taking care not to compromise the diameter of the esophagus. Alternatively open resection and two-layer closure is performed (. Figs. 16.8 and 16.9).

Closure
A so Penrose drain is placed at the resection line. e skin is closed aer placing only a few subcutaneous sutures.
Standard postoperative investigations
Contrast study of the upper gastrointestinal tract (not routinely performed before starting
-
oral intake).
Most patients may be started on a liquid intake within hours of the operation.
-
e duration of hospitalization has been declining, and may be necessary for only 3 to
-
5days.
e drain is le in situ until solid food intake is possible.
-
A solid intake should be started aer the third postoperative day.
-
Postoperative complications
Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.
-
Wound infection.
-
Fistula formation/stump leakage – conservative treatment with drainage and opening of the
-
wound is usually the appropriate treatment.
Retropharyngeal abscess may require surgical intervention.
-
Recurrence rates aer resection of a cricopharyngeal diverticulum are low, if the cricopha-
-
ryngeus muscle has been divided completely.
Tricks of the Senior Surgeon
Placement of a large gastric tube helps to identify the esophagus and the diverticulum.
-
Tension-free resection helps to avoid leakage.

Epiphrenic Diverticula

Dedicated to the memory of Professor Gerald C. O’Sullivan – surgeon, scientist, mentor, and friend
Chris G. Collins
Introduction
An epiphrenic diverticulum is a herniation of a pouch of esophageal mucosa thought the muscu­lature of the thoracic esophagus within 10 cm of the esophagogastric junction. e pathological process is thought to be the application of pulsion forces to the mucosa above a functionally obstructing region of abnormal esophageal motility. Investigations include endoscopy, contrast esophagogram and esophageal manometry. Operative interventions include laparoscopic, thoracic and thoracoscopic approaches in order to excise the diverticulum with a myotomy to address the underlying motility disorder.

Indications and Contraindications
Dysphagia
-
Pulmonary complications (recurrent pneumonia, aspiration pneumonitis, and lung abscess)
-
Ongoing pneumonia or lung abscess (temporary)
-
Preoperative Investigation/Preparation for the Procedure
z Clinical
Full history and examination
-
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD): it is necessary to enter the diverticulum to examine
-
the mucosa and exclude associated carcinoma
Esophageal manometry: it may be necessary to position the manometry probe distal to the
-
diverticulum in order to accurately dene the dysmotility. (High resolution manometry and twenty-four-hour recordings provide a more accurate diagnosis.)
z Laboratory
Routine biochemical prole to out rule any abnormality related to prolonged vomiting or forced fasting such as hypoalbuminia.
z Radiology
Plain chest radiograph
-
Contrast esophagogram (may need rotation to see smaller diverticulae)
-
Broad-spectrum antibiotics are given preoperatively (e. g., co-amoxiclav and metronidazole)
Treat complications of the diverticulum (aspiration pneumonia/lung abscess) prior to surgery. Empty the diverticulum of retained secretions, food, or barium as completely as possible before
anesthesia is induced to reduce the risks of aspiration.

What Not to Do
Small asymptomatic diverticulae can be le alone. Regular follow-up is advised to detect
-
malignant change or signicant enlargement with regurgitation or aspiration.
Failure to perform myotomy is associated with higher rates of recurrence and leak from the
-
suture line.
Candidates with an underlying motility disorder unt or unwilling for surgery may benet
-
from endoscopic pneumatic dilatation.

Procedure
e focus of the procedure is on both the underlying motor disorder and the epiphrenic pouch. e main approaches are as follows:
Laparoscopic abdominal approach (most common approach today)
-
oracic approach mostly for larger and higher (> 10 cm from diaphragm) thoracic pouches
-
Video-assisted thoracic approach
-
Laparoscopic Procedure
Access and Exposure
e patient is placed in the lithotomy position with 20–30° reverse Trendelenburg (“French
-
position”) and the surgeon stands between the legs.
Pneumoperitoneum is established and four ports inserted as shown (. Fig. 17.1). e cam-
-
era is inserted to the le of the midline 2–3 cm above the umbilicus (or higher depending
on the size of the patient) and three additional ports are inserted under direct vision. e
Nathonson retractor is inserted at the xiphisternum for liver retraction, le subcostal for
traction on the stomach, and two working ports on either side of the midline.

Exposure
e phrenoesophageal ligament is incised using endo-scissors or a harmonic scalpel.
-
Dissection begins on the right crus and then moves to the le crus.
-
e right crus is then dissected downward and the esophagus is encircled with a Penrose
-
drain for traction, via the le subcostal port. e Penrose drain may be maintained in posi-
tion for traction by approximation with a 3-0endoloop.
Mediastinal dissection is then carried out using blunt instruments and harmonic scalpel,
-
staying close to the esophagus until the diverticular pouch is reached.
