- Abstract
Description This is a video of a hand-sewn 2-layer end-to-side intra-thoracic esophago-gastric anastomosis performed thoracoscopically during a totally minimally invasive 2-stage esophagectomy for cancer. The suture material used is the barbed V-Lock. We routine perform this anastomosis in all 2-stage minimally invasive esophagectomies in our Unit since 2016. We have performed about 50 consecutive esophagectomies with this anastomosis with < 3% leak rate. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.
