Dr. Antonio M. de Lacy (Spain) and his team at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona will perform a Robotically assisted Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy and answer all your questions. Clinical History: A 79-year-old man diagnosed with a neoplasm of the distal third of the esophagus, stage uT2N1. He received neoadjuvant treatment with chemoradiation, with complete metabolic response in the restaging PET-CT scan. Histology: moderately differentiated ADK. Neoadjuvant treatment received: CROSS protocol (carboplatin/paclitaxel + 41.4Gy). Other History: Arterial hypertension Parkinson's disease Atrial fibrillation anticoagulated with acenocoumarol Benign prostatic hyperplasia Technique description: Robotically assisted Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy Procedure steps: This is a two-stage procedure: resection of both the distal part of the esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction + creation of a gastric conduit (abdominal part, performed via laparoscopy), ascension of the gastric conduit to the thorax and esophago-gastric hand-sewn anastomosis (thoracic part, robotically assisted). Abdominal part: Gastrolysis Abdominal lymphadenectomy Creation of the gastric tube/conduit Ascension of structures to the thorax Thoracic part: Robotic docking. Section of the azygos vein Distal esophageal dissection + mediastinal lymphadenectomy Distal esophageal resection Verification of correct vascularization with ICG green Totally hand-sewn end-to-end esophago-gastric anastomosis Training Objectives: Key-steps of Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy Robotic surgery, tips and tricks

Minimal invasive surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer is challenging and requires advanced technological assistance to make the procedure feasible and safe. The Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision is an innovative approach for rectal cancer. It provides several advantages compared to the fully laparoscopic technique. Issues such as transection of the distal margin and difficult cases may have found a solution with this procedure. You have been able to see this procedure many times on AIS Channel. This time we want to show you transanal surgery from another point of view. This surgery will focus on the main steps for the combined transanal and transabdominal approach (Cecil approach) for rectal cancer, highlighting the most frequent mistakes and how to prevent them.
