This video depicts a robotic THE undertaken in a 72-year-old woman with a severe esophageal stricture. Dissection in the mediastinum was undertaken and circumstantially around the esophagus. A pyloromyotomy was undertaken utilizing a robotic hook-cautery. The stomach was opened proximally along the ventral surface and the migrated stents were removed.
An incision along the sternocleidomastoid muscle was made and the carotid artery and internal jugular vein were retracted. The esophagogastrostomy anastomosis was completed with robotic stapler and the defect was closed with interrupted silk sutures. THE can safely be undertaken robotically with minimal blood loss, reaping the benefits of MIS.
