Fig. 14 Passage of the delivery tube through the proximal esophageal stump for anvil placement using the OrVil device (A esophageal stump, B delivery tubing)
M. Jureller et al.
Orvil anvil (OrVil, Autosuture, Norwalk, CT, USA), which is a device that mounts the anvil on a 90-cm long polyvinyl chloride delivery tube. The delivery tube is passed transorally, similar to a nasogastric tube, and advanced into the remaining proximal esophagus. A small opening is made in the center of the staple line of the divided esophageal stump and the delivery tube is pulled distally until the anvil shaft protrudes through the esophagotomy and the anvil head is seated in the distal stump (Fig.14). The delivery tube is detached by cutting the securing stich and the tube is removed. The gastric conduit is then pulled up further into the chest to assure that it will reach the proximal esophagus. The tip of the conduit is opened parallel to the staple line enough to allow the head of a 25-mm EEA stapler (EEA XL 25-mm with
4.8-mm staples, autosuture, Norwalk, CT, USA) to be inserted (Fig.15). Once the stapler head has been inserted into the gastrotomy, the conduit is pulled onto the stapler for a few centimeters. It is important to avoid twisting of the conduit once the stapler head is inserted, keeping the staple line to the patient’s right (Fig.15). The stapler pin is then brought out through the wall of the conduit opposite the staple line and docked with the anvil (Fig.16). The stapler is red after making sure sur­rounding tissue has been cleared. Once the stapler has been removed, two complete anastomotic rings (one from the esophagus side and the other from the gastric side) should be removed from the stapler. This creates an end (esophagus) to side (con­duit) anastomosis, which avoids using the gastric conduit tip (which is usually slightly ischemic). The excess conduit is then resected with a linear stapler, making sure to avoid crossing of the staple lines (Fig.17). The gastric conduit should appear well perfused and appropriately oriented with the staple line facing the surgeon (Fig.18). Alternatively, the esophagus can be transected with scissors and a 25-mm or 28-mm EEA stapler anvil is placed into the esophagus and secured with two purse string sutures. All layers of the esophagus, including the mucosa, should be incorporated into the purse string. Once the anvil is secured, the end-to-side esopha­gogastric anastomosis is completed, as described above.

12 Operative Techniques
Throughout the last century, a number of esophagectomy techniques have been popularized, including Transhiatal, Ivor Lewis, McKeown (or 3-hole), Sweet (or thoracoabdominal) and Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (MIE) techniques. Signicant controversy persists regarding which open approach is best. The MIE has been developed over the last two decades, but its denition remains vague (i.e. hybrid, hand-assisted, laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, and robotic techniques), making comparison with open approaches difcult. Factors to consider when deciding between these operative strategies include surgeon experience, tumor location, pul­monary reserve, history of previous operations, indication (malignant or benign pathology), and availability of conduit for reconstruction. The basic principles and steps of each approach were reviewed previously. The steps specic to each tech­nique and the strengths/weaknesses of each are discussed in the following section.
13 Ivor Lewis Esophagectomy (ILE)
The ILE consists of an upper midline laparotomy followed by repositioning and right thoracotomy for resection and reconstruction with an intrathoracic anastomo­sis. With the patient supine, the abdominal stage is performed rst. After ruling out metastatic disease, the stomach is mobilized, the left gastric is pedicle divided and celiac lymphadenectomy are performed, the gastric conduit is created, and adjunct procedures (i.e. pyloroplasty and J-tube) completed. The tip of the conduit is attached to the specimen for later retrieval in the chest. The abdomen is closed and the patient is repositioned in the left lateral decubitus position. Single-lung ventila­tion is initiated (a double-lumen endotracheal tube or bronchial blocker is required to isolate the right lung). Following right thoracotomy, the intrathoracic esophagus

is mobilized and mediastinal lymphadenectomy is performed. The conduit is then pulled up into the chest, the esophagus is transected proximal to the disease, and the specimen is removed. The intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis is then per­formed. After the chest has been washed out, drains/chest tubes are placed and the chest is closed.
ILE is an ideal operative strategy for mid-esophageal and distal esophageal tumors, as this approach allows excellent visualization for complete mobilization of the esophagus and lymphadenectomy. The number of lymph nodes harvested tends to be greater with a thoracic approach and the risk of vocal cord paralysis is lower by avoiding the neck dissection needed for a cervical anastomosis [7, 19]. Anastomotic leaks are less common, presumably due to less tension on the intratho­racic anastomosis in comparison to a cervical anastomosis where the conduit must be pulled up for a greater distance [19, 20]. Historically, intrathoracic anastomotic leaks tended to result in greater morbidity due to associated mediastinal sepsis or empyema. However, appropriately placed drains and percutaneous drainage tech­niques have resulted in less morbidity from intrathoracic leaks in the current era. Pulmonary complications and more postoperative pain are the primary negatives of the ILE, attributed mainly to the thoracotomy.

14 Transhiatal Esophagectomy (THE)
THE can be performed via robotic/laparoscopic approach or laparotomy along with a left neck incision for creation of a cervical anastomosis. The patient is placed in the supine position on a friction pad and foot-board with bilateral arms tucked (Fig.19). Both the neck and abdomen are prepped into the eld. Only a single­lumen endotracheal tube is needed. In anticipation of the operative eld, we prefer that if a patient requires neoadjuvant treatment that a chemoport be placed in the left subclavian vein. This keeps the right internal jugular vein free for central venous catheter placement by the anaesthesiologist and the left neck free for our cervical dissection. Should a pneumothorax be made when placing the chemoport in the right subclavian vein, it may cause right sided chest adhesions making an ILE or 3-hole approach more difcult should that technique be used instead of THE.
The THE is this author’s preferred technique with use of the Da Vinci Xi Robotic platform. Ports are placed as seen in (Fig.20). A exible retractor is placed through an AirSeal™ port in the right ank to retract segments 2 and 3 of the liver. A Fenestrated Bipolar is placed in arm 1in the right midclavicular line, and arm 2 holds a 30 degree camera above the umbilicus. In arm 3 we place a laparoscopic 12mm trocar and “piggyback” our robotic advanced energy dissector—the 12mm trocar is utilized by the bedside assist to staple the left gastric vessels. We prefer this from the bedside assist rather than the SureForm™ stapling system due to efciency. It is important to appreciate that the Harmonic ACE™ has a shorter shaft length than

the Vessel Sealer, thus must be placed more cephalad in order to gain proper medi­astinal reach. Should more reach be needed such as in a taller patient, the trocar can be “burped” by the bedside assistant to gain cephalad reach. A Prograsp™ is utilized in arm 4.
The patient is positioned in 30° reverse Trendelenberg and the robot is docked. Dissection begins by identication of the right gastroepiploic artery and entering the lesser sac via the gastrocolic ligament lateral to the vessel. Dissection proceeds cephalad along the greater curvature of the stomach, dividing the short gastric ves­sels and the posterior gastric attachments (Fig.21). The left crus is visualized and the posterior mediastinum is entered laterally and then briey anteriorly. The right crus is the approached by entering the pars accida with an energy device. The right crus is identied and the phrenoesophagal ligament is divided. Caution must be taken in patients with a hiatal hernia as the left gastric vessels can be pulled into the mediastinum. The left gastric artery is identied and a window is made by caudad dissection. A lipped vascular-load, linear cutting stapler is placed via the 12mm trocar by the bedside assist and the vessel is divided at its origin, thus capturing the celiac, left gastric and hepatic nodal basins (Fig.22).

The esophagus is mobilized with en bloc lymphadenectomy. Arm 4 is placed into the retroesophageal space from the right, which allows great visualization of the posterior and right mediastinum. This maneuver eliminates the need for a Penrose drain for retraction.

mediastinum is sufciently mobilized, it is this author’s practice to complete the procedure via a mini-laparotomy. The robot is undocked and the patient brought back to the at supine position.
A mini upper midline laparotomy is made, and a second surgical team enters and begins the left neck dissection.
Left neck: An 8cm incision is made along the medial aspect of the left sterno­cleidomastoid muscle. The vessels are retracted lateral and the thyroid medially. Blunt dissection is used to circumferentially dissect out the proximal esophagus using the nasogastric tube as a guide. The recurrent laryngeal nerve is identied and protected. It is important to dissect posterior and inferiorly rst, meeting the previ­ous mediastinal dissection eld and helping to avoid neurovascular injury in the neck. The nasogastric tube is retracted into the mouth and the esophagus divided

with a linear, non-cutting stapler and a scalpel. The nasogastric tube tip is brought back into the eld tagged with a silk suture to make for easy retrieval later. A new sterile nasogastric tube is sutured to the proximal esophageal specimen margin.
Mini-laparotomy: The gastric antrum is identied and followed distally towards the pylorus. A full Kocher maneuver is done. The pylorus is identied just proximal to the vein of Mayo. A pyloroplasty is then carried out rst by placement of two 2-0 silk stay sutures. A 4cm longitudinal enterogastrotomy is made on the pylorus. The pylorus is the closed in a Heineke-Mikulicz fashion with interrupted 2-0 silk suture. The remainder of the gastrocolic omentum is divided as well as any remaining pos­terior gastric attachments. The esophageal specimen, already divided in the neck is then brought into the abdomen. The left gastric vein is isolated and divided with a vascular load linear cutting stapler. The proximal stomach is resected to include the GE junction and our en-bloc lymphadenectomy (Fig.24). The specimen is passed off the eld (Fig.25). The gastric conduit staple line is oversewn with silk suture in a Cushing fashion. We do not tubularize the stomach as we like to preserve as much stomach as possible to reach into the neck as well as to not disrupt the ow of the right gastric artery through the wall of the stomach.
The nasogastric tube tip, now located in the abdomen is secured to the top of the gastric conduit and passed through the mediastinum, maintaining orientation. A jejunostomy tube is made in a Witzel fashion. The anastomosis is constructed in a manner similar to Orringer [21]. 3-0 silk stay sutures are placed between the esoph­agus a stomach. A small gastrotomy is made. A linear cutting 60mm stapler is ori­ented with the large anvil in the esophagostomy and pointing in the direction of the patient’s right ear. The remaining opening is closed with interrupted 5-0 Vicryl suture (Fig.26). The nasogastric tube is passed to just above the pyloroplasty. A at, closed suction drain is placed adjacent to the anastomosis and the tissue closed loosely in layers. A chest tube is placed only if the pleural space is inadvertently entered or resected due to tumor involvement.
