Approaches for esophagectomy for esophageal cancer: a Network Meta-Analysis
MIE and RAMIE significantly reduce pulmonary complications without compromising survival. Hybrid approaches appear to increase the risk of anastomotic leakage. These findings support minimally invasive techniques, especially RAMIE; however, more evidence and further studies are needed to allow for a clearer and more definitive conclusion.
