Abstract

Although infrequent, esophageal leiomyomas are the most common benign intramural tumors of the esophagus. As malignant potential is not a concern in these lesions, they represent ideal candidates for an organ-preserving approach. Due to their well-circumscribed growth, a minimally invasive approach should be pursued in almost all patients. We present our recent techniques and results associated with totally minimally invasive thoracoscopic and laparoscopic approaches to resection of esophageal leiomyomas. These approaches require technical expertise but can be accomplished with a short learning curve.
