Robotic-assisted minimally invasive, open, and conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma – a comprehensive quantitative analysis of perioperative outcomes and long-term survival
RAMIE shows favorable perioperative outcomes and reduced postoperative complications compared to OE and MIE, with comparable long-term survival. Despite longer operative times, RAMIE is effective for EC patients. Future research should focus on optimizing surgical time and conducting randomized controlled trials to confirm its benefits, guiding clinical decision-making and optimizing patient care.
