Comparative evaluation of transmediastinal and minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal cancer: perioperative and oncologic outcomes
Thoraco-laparoscopic transmediastinal esophagectomy is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive alternative to the McKeown approach in selected esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. It provides superior perioperative outcomes and enhanced recovery without compromising short-term oncologic efficacy.
