NCT01144325

Brief Summary

The purpose of this prospective randomized study is to compare clinical outcomes from two different patient position(prone vs left decubitus)with thoracoscopic esophageal mobilization in the procedure of Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (MIE).

  • Comparing morbidities from the two groups
  • Comparing short-term quality of life from the two groups
  • Comparing oncological results (3,5 year survival) from the two groups

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Perioperative morbidity and mortality from the two groups

    1 -5 years after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • short-term quality of life(postoperative 6 months and 1 year) between the two groups

    1 year

  • 3-and 5-year survival rate between the two groups

    1 - 5 years after surgery

Interventions

In prone position group, patients are intubated with single lumen endotracheal tube. Surgeon and assistant stand on the right of the patient. A 10 mm camera port is placed 7th intercostals space in posterior axillary line, CO2 pneumothorax is created with pressure of 8mmHg. A 5 mm port is placed just posterior to the scapular tip. The last 10mm port is placed at 9th intercostals space in the scapular line for. The tumor and esophagus are dissected with cleaning of the lymph nodes along bilateral recurrent nerve. In controlling group, The four chest ports were similar to that described by the University of Pittsburgh group. The left two ports are used for surgical exposure, the right two ports is to divide and dissect the esophagus. The dissection is similar to that of the prone position.
