Robotic enucleation for oesophageal benign and borderline tumours: Less is more?

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Background

Oesophageal benign to borderline tumours are rare entities, and their optimal treatment strategy remains controversial. Surgical robotic enucleation is an option to optimize their management.

Methods

We prospectively collected data on seven consecutive oesophageal benign to borderline tumours operated robotically over a 4‐year period. Patient baseline characteristics, perioperative outcomes and medium‐term follow‐ups were reviewed and analysed retrospectively.

Results

Two patients underwent a robotic oesophagectomy and five underwent a simple enucleation. These last were the objective of the final analysis. Median operative time was 150 min. Neither deaths nor postoperative complications occurred. Median oral feeding started on postoperative day 3.5. The median postoperative stay was 5 days. Final histopathology confirmed two gastrointestinal stromal tumours, two leiomyomas and one simple cyst.

Conclusions

Robotic enucleation of oesophageal benign to borderline tumours is a feasible procedure in a dedicated oesophageal unit, with optimal perioperative outcomes in a small series of cases with limited follow‐up.
