Abstract
Robotic technology can be used to perform a careful and precise esophagectomy. Three approaches are described: the transhiatal approach, the transthoracic approach with the anastomosis in the chest, and the transthoracic approach with the anastomosis in the neck. The details of each technique are reviewed.
