Abstract

Background:It is often difficult to perform complete upper mediastinal dissection for cervical esophageal cancer in the normal cervical surgery view. If a method to perform upper mediastinal dissection, including the left recurrent nerve lymph nodes (106recL), can be developed, then it may be possible to preform minimal invasive surgery without sternal splitting incisions or esophagectomy under right thoracotomy. We herein describe a new method for performing complete dissection of the upper mediastinal lymph nodes for cervical esophageal cancer under the pneumomediastinum using cadavers.
