description Robotic surgery systems, as emerging minimally invasive approaches, have been increasingly applied for the treatment of esophageal cancer because they provide a high-definition three-dimensional surgical view and mechanical rotating arms that surpass the limitations of human hands, greatly enhancing the accuracy and flexibility of surgical methods. Robot-assisted McKeown esophagectomy (RAME), a common type of robotic esophagectomy, has been gradually implemented with the aim of reducing postoperative complications, improving postoperative recovery and achieving better long-term survival. Multiple centers worldwide have reported and summarized their experiences with the RAME, and some have also discussed and analyzed its perioperative effects and survival prognosis compared with those of video-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy. Compared to traditional surgery, the RAME has significant advantages in terms of lymph node dissection although there seems to be no difference in overall survival or disease-free survival. With the continuous advancement of technology and the development of robotic technology, further development and innovation are expected in the RAME field. This review elaborates on the prospects of the application and advancement of the RAME to provide a useful reference for clinical practice.
