Recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph node dissection with subcomplete sealing using advanced bipolar energy device in minimally invasive esophagectomy
A total of 76 patients received esophagectomy with the subcomplete technique. Grade IIIa RLN palsy occurred in three cases (3.95%). Over Grade IIIb RLN palsies did not occur. This subcomplete sealing technique can assist surgeons in performing RLN lymph node dissection without bleeding and increasing the rate of RLN palsy.
