Robot- Assisted Ivor-Lewis Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer: Short- Term and Long Term Outcomes of a Single-Arm Phase II Trial

Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) have become increasingly popular in esophageal cancer. It is generally accepted that comparing to open resections, MIE results in decreased postoperative pain, faster recovery times, and shorter hospital stays with comparable oncologic outcomes. However, MIE poses an important challenge for established thoracic surgeons as it is a difficult technique to become skilled at with an protracted learning curve. Standard laparoscopic and thoracoscopic instruments are rigid and provide a finite freedom of movement with a two dimensional visualization of the operating field. Such a difficulty is increased even more when the Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy with an intrathoracic anastomosis is needed.

Robot- assisted surgical system has opened a new era of minimally invasive surgery. Robot- assisted surgery offers some advantages including high- definition three- dimensional visualization and 7 degrees of freedom with the use of its surgical wrists, motion scaling, and tremor filtration, allowing the surgeon to perform complex operations comfortably in the domain of urinary tract, hepatobiliary and gynecological surgery. Although a robot-assisted thoraco- laparoscopic minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) was initiated from 2003, the published experience with RAMIE remains small, especially for Ivor- Lewis approaches. The aim of this study was to investigate the short- term and long-term outcomes of RAILE to identify any clinical or oncologic benefits of RAILE in esophageal cancer.

Detailed Description

This confirmatory, nonrandomized, single-arm trial (phase II) will be conducted to evaluate short-and long-term outcomes of robot-assisted thoraco- laparoscopic minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Patients will registered preoperatively. The planned sample size was 51. Preoperative endoscopic biopsy was performed in all patients to confirm the histological diagnosis of esophageal cancer. Staging workup included thorough history and physical examination, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography, and integrated positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan. Patients with histologically proven malignancy were candidates for surgical procedures. Operability criteria were defined according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. All patients were within the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class I to III. In general, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy was offered to patients with T2-3 or N1-2 disease. The primary endpoint in the first stage is the short-term postoperative complications, and that in the second stage is overall survival; patients continue to be followed up for this endpoint.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
