TY - JOUR AU - Cuesta, Miguel A. PY - 2018 TI - Review of different approaches of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve area for lymphadenectomy during minimally invasive esophagectomy JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 11, Supplement 5 (April 18, 2019): Journal of Thoracic Disease (Improvements in Perioperative Care for Esophagectomy) Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - In order to perform the total mediastinal lymphadenectomy during minimally invasive esophageal resection, doing the lymphadenectomy along the left recurrent laryngeal nerve (LRLN) may be a difficult part of this intervention. One reason is the need for the correct visualization of the area; another is not wanting to compromise the integrity of the nerve. In this review article the different modalities for approaching this upper mediastinal area by thoracoscopy are described. UR - https://jtd.amegroups.org/article/view/26056
