Usefulness of three‐dimensional thoracoscope for prone position thoracoscopic esophagectomy improves mediastinal lymph node dissection and prognosis for esophageal cancer

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to assess the superiority of 3D flexible thoracoscope against 2D thoracoscope for lymph node dissection (LND) and prognosis for prone‐position thoracoscopic esophagectomy (TE) in esophageal cancer. Methods Three hundred and sixty‐seven esophageal cancer patients...
