[The road to modern esophageal surgery - from maximally invasive to minimally invasive].
[esophageal carcinoma]
520
new
cases
of
esophageal
carcinoma
are
diagnosed
in
Switzerland
per
year
.
80
%
of
these
patients
eventually
die
from
their
disease
despite
recent
advances
in
surgical
technique
and
systemic
treatment
.
The
first
successful
thoracic
esophageal
resection
for
carcinoma
was
performed
in
1913
,
but
only
the
introduction
of
modern
anesthesia
with
oral
intubation
and
positive
pressure
ventilation
made
thoracic
operations
routinely
feasible
.
Esophageal
resection
can
be
performed
open
or
minimally
invasive
.
The
minimally
invasive
esophageal
resection
has
been
proven
to
be
safe
with
comparable
mortality
to
open
resection
.
Also
,
there
is
no
difference
in
terms
of
radicality
of
the
operation
.
Overall
survival
seems
to
be
equal
in
published
series
,
but
results
of
prospective
trials
are
still
pending
.
