Left recurrent nerve lymph node dissection in robotic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer without esophageal traction

Abstract Background Because the robotic arm is located on the dorsal side of the patient, when the esophagus is pulled dorsally for the left recurrent nerve lymph node (LRLN) dissection, the robotic arm interferes with the surgical field. This made it difficult to prepare for the left recurrent lymp...
