1．食道癌に対するロボット支援下手術

Robotic-assisted Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer

食道癌手術は開胸から胸腔鏡，そしてロボット支援へと移行している．ロボット特有の技巧を駆使することで，胸腔鏡を凌駕する手術が可能と考える．

We described basic procedures and tips for robot-assisted esophagectomy. While it is important to become familiar with robotics technology, understand that it is only one of the tools. Most importantly, we believe that a thorough knowledge of basic surgical techniques will enable us to perform high-level surgery. Postoperative complications significantly decrease quality of life and have a negative impact on survival. We intend to consider operations aiming for zero complications.
