Abstract:

Esophageal leiomyoma represents 70-80% of all benign esophageal tumors but only approximately 0.5% of all esophageal neoplasms; optimal surgical treatment consists of local resection. We present the first reported robotic-assisted thoracoscopic resection of two patients with esophageal leiomyoma using the daVinci Surgical System. Operative technique and technical considerations are presented.
