BACKGROUND: The purpose of this video is to show a successful, reproducible technique for intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis for minimally invasive robotic-assisted Ivor Lewis esophagectomy.
METHODS: Intraoperative video is used to show the steps of the anastomosis.
RESULTS: The video shows a completed thoracoscopic robotic-assisted intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis using the technique that was first described by Collard and colleagues and was later modified by Orringer and colleagues.
CONCLUSIONS: This anastomotic technique is well described for open transthoracic esophagectomy and is translatable and reproducible for the thoracoscopic robotic-assisted approach.
