It is inadequate in both two techniques. It is impossible to dissect the lower esophagus with single mediastinoscopy or the upper and middle esophagus with single laparoscopy. We use mediastinoscopy combined with laparoscopy to dissect the whole esophagus and stomach including lymph node dissection. In addition laparoscopic gastric mobilization leads to less trauma than an open gastroplasty. Methods 40 cases of video-assisted mediastinoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy were performed and divided into two patients were received surgical therapy of single mediastinoscopic esophagectomy with open gastroplasty in group A while 8 patients were received surgical therapy of mediastinoscopic esophagectomy combined with laparoscopic lower esophageal and gastric dissection in group B. The perioperative complications were recorded. Results Video-assisted mediastinoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy was performed successfully both in group A and B. It suggested that mediastinoscopy combined with laparoscopy be better than single mediastinoscopy because of less blood loss less pain shorter ICU stay and complete lower mediastinal lymph nodes resection. Conclusions Video-assisted mediastinoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy combined with laparoscopy is a safe and minimally invasive technique with whole esophagus and mediastinal lymph node dissection in the clear visualization of the mediastinum reducing the abdominal trauma.
