RETML-4: Advancements in esophageal cancer surgery with four-arm robotic thoracic esophagectomy with total mediastinal lymphadenectomy by Xuefeng Leng, Koshiro Ishiyama, Hiroyuki Daiko

“…As the field has progressed from open esophagectomy (OE) to minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) and further to robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE), not only has the surgeon's understanding and perception of the disease deepened, but the advancements in operative techniques have also led to improved post-operative recovery and oncological outcomes for patients. The esophageal surgery team at the National Cancer Center Hospital has elevated RAMIE to a new theoretical and practical level with their technique: esophageal cancer surgery with four-arm robotic esophagectomy with total mediastinal lymphadenectomy (RETML-4), rooted in the robotically enhanced surgical anatomy (RESA) philosophy. …”
