Though most known for heartburn and regurgitation, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is attributed to countless atypical, extra-esophageal (EE) manifestations like cough and throat clearing. While GERD has been studied extensively, the relationship between reflux character and symptom manifestation remains poorly understood. The aim of this st...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)-the pathologic reflux of gastric contents into the distal esophagus-is the most common benign disorder of the esophagus. Its incidence is at 10-20% of the Western population and it yearly cost of treatment in the USA in 9.3 billion dollars. Although first line treatment for the disorder is medical therapy with...

Open esophagectomy is considered to be the main surgical procedure in the world for esophageal cancer treatment. Implementing a new surgical technique is associated with learning curve morbidity. The objective of this study is to determine the learning curve based on anastomotic leakage (AL) after implementing minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophage...

Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) is gaining increasing popularity as an operative approach. Learning curves to achieve surgical competency in robotic-assisted techniques have shown significant variation in learning curve lengths and outcomes. This study aimed to summarize the current literature on learning curves for RAMIE. A...

Chylothorax is an important complication after esophagectomy. Ligation of the injured thoracic duct is the main method to prevent chylothorax after esophagectomy, but may be associated with adverse effects. Whether ligation of the injured tributary alone, keeping the main trunk intact, may suffice to prevent post-operative chylothorax is not well k...

Symptoms of Zenker diverticulum can recur whatever the type of primary treatment administered. A modified transoral stapler-assisted septotomy (TS) was introduced in clinical practice a few years ago to improve the results of this mini-invasive technique. The aim of this prospective, controlled study was to assess the outcome of TS in patients with...

The importance of multidisciplinary long-term follow-up for adults born with esophageal atresia (EA) is increasingly recognized. Hence, a valid, condition-specific instrument to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) becomes imperative. This study aimed to develop and validate such an instrument for adults with EA. The Specific Quality of l...

Conflicting results are reported on the association between post-esophagectomy complications and long-term survival. This multicenter study assesses the association between complications after an esophagectomy and long-term overall survival. Five Dutch high-volume centers collected data from consecutive patients undergoing esophagectomy between 201...

A key component of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery pathway for esophagectomy is early mobilization. Evidence on a specific protocol of early and structured mobilization is scarce, which explains variation in clinical practice. This study aims to describe and evaluate the early mobilization practice after esophagectomy for cancer in a tertiary r...

Anastomotic leakage is a feared complication after esophagectomy and associated with increased post-operative morbidity and mrotality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the management of leakage after robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) with intrathoracic anastomosis. From a single center prospectively maintained database, a...
