- Program Summary
- Target Condition ①: Cervical Esophageal Cancer
In most cases, laryngectomy is required, which leads to a significant decline in postoperative quality of life (QOL). Our department has developed surgical techniques that preserve the larynx whenever possible, enabling curative surgery while maintaining the patient’s voice.
Target Condition ②: Thoracic Esophageal Cancer and Esophagogastric Junction Cancer
These procedures are highly invasive and often associated with a high rate of postoperative complications. At our department, we provide minimally invasive approaches, including robotic surgery, characterized by fewer postoperative complications and shorter hospital stays.
